Upcoming meeting preview for Long-Term Care Committee of Management on September 17, 2026 10:00 AM.

This preview is based on the published agenda package and supporting reports.

One-Sentence Summary

The September 17, 2026 meeting at 10:00 AM will review the Long-Term Care Director’s Update covering July to August 2026 activities, Ministry funding levels of $299.21 per resident day, infection prevention guidance regarding wildfire smoke, and proposals for 2026/27 Local Priorities Fund submissions alongside increased Nurse Practitioner funding. Staff will detail operational reports including interRAI data collection expansion, resident name tag rollouts across Grey Gables, Lee Manor, and Rockwood Terrace, cleared compliance orders at Grey Gables following falls prevention verification, and successful fire drill inspections. The committee will examine semi-private accommodation rate corrections for residents admitted between July 2012 and June 2013. Staff will present the consolidated Level-of-Care funding structure and Case Mix Index performance data while noting that Rockwood Terrace redevelopment remains approximately 77% complete with final bidding packages scheduled for distribution in mid-September. The agenda will address delays to Rockwood Terrace completion until late March 2027, pushing resident move-ins into summer 2027 due to scheduling challenges and material supply issues, leading to lower projected operating costs for the revised timeline. Committee members will evaluate 2027 budget projections totaling $119.9 million with a net levy requirement of $12.5 million, covering Grey Gables, Lee Manor, and Rockwood Terrace expenses

Whole Agenda Summary

The Long-Term Care Committee of Management will hold a session on September 17, 2026, at 10:00 AM to review operational reports, budget projections, and redevelopment timelines for Grey Gables, Lee Manor, and Rockwood Terrace. Staff will present updates regarding infection prevention measures related to wildfire smoke, funding structures including the consolidated Level-of-Care rate of $299.21 per resident day, and proposals for the 2026/27 Local Priorities Fund submissions. The agenda includes notes on increased funding for Nurse Practitioners and professional development opportunities. A report on semi-private accommodation rates will correct data for specific residents admitted between July 2012 and June 2013. Operational updates will cover interRAI data collection expansion and resident name tag rollouts across the three homes. Staff will detail that Rockwood Terrace redevelopment is approximately 77% complete, with final bidding packages for a master line bid scheduled for distribution in mid-September. Scheduling challenges and material supply issues are expected to delay Rockwood Terrace occupancy until late March 2027, likely pushing resident move-ins into summer 2027. The committee will consider that draft budgets for 2027 and 2028 rely on an early April 2027 occupancy assumption given the revised redevelopment timeline. The 2027 budget projections will show total expenses of $119
