Good morning,
Not sure if everyone has seen this yet, so I thought I would share it with
you.
It talks about the changes coming effective Nov. 20, hospitals are required
under the Public Hospitals Act regulations to charge a daily fee of $400 to
patients who no longer require hospital care, but who remain in hospital
after being discharged, including those authorized for admission to a
long-term-care home.

I was already a big advocate of how important it is for us to
work closely with the hospital. Both the hospitals and the families are
going to need our help. Just another point to share when you're talking to
a discharge planner/social worker.
Hope this helps!
