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. https://www.muskokaregion.com/news-story/10739602-province-limits-long-term-care-choice-of-muskoka-patients/?s=n1?source=newsletter&utm_content=a02&utm_source=ml_nl&utm_medium=email&utm_email=912B766D532D2A8E1F1B27F8D8A330B9&utm_campaign=mrhl_136668 I was already a big advocate of how important it is for us to work closely with the hospital.
