The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday edition that three dozen nursing homes in Ontario have accounted for 55 per cent of the province's COVID-19 deaths in long-term care, a Globe analysis has found, revealing how residents in older facilities with multibed wards have been particularly vulnerable during the pandemic. The Globe's Karen Howlett writes that COVID-19 has killed 1,847 people in 104 of the 633 long-term care homes in Ontario to date, according to the analysis. Just over 1,000 of those deaths were in 36 older homes where many of the residents sleep in the same room and share a bathroom with two or three other people. Another 834 residents died in the remaining 68 homes with fatal outbreaks. In Ontario, almost 40 per cent of nursing homes do not meet current provincial government design standards banning wards, making the province a national outlier. Most of the homes were built 50 years ago, when wards were common across Canada. Twenty-nine of the 36 facilities that accounted for more than half of the deaths in long-term care homes in Ontario are owned by for-profit corporations. Six chains -- Sienna Senior, Extendicare, Chartwell, Revera, Rykka Care Centres and Southbridge -- own 22 of them.
