MARKHAM, Ontario, May 12, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Extendicare Inc. (“Extendicare” or the “Company”) (TSX: EXE) today reported results for the three months ended March 31, 2021. Results are presented in Canadian dollars unless otherwise noted.
“The first quarter of this year marked a turning point in the pandemic for long-term care (LTC) with the success of the vaccination program for residents and staff. Despite the arrival of a third wave of COVID-19 across the country, outbreaks and cases have dropped dramatically in our homes. Nevertheless, the presence of numerous virus variants means that we must remain vigilant by maintaining higher staffing levels, enhanced infection control and regular testing until the threat of the pandemic has passed,” said President and Chief Executive Officer, Dr. Michael Guerriere.
The Confederation College is now accepting applications for the new and free Personal Support Worker (PSW) program.
The province of Ontario provided province-wide funding to have 6,000 students enrol in a six-months accelerated program. Prior to this, students would need eight months to complete the PSW program. Successful applicants will be given funding support for textbooks, a paid work placement and be spared the burden of tuition fees.
This was done in collaboration with Colleges Ontario to have the provincial government provide $115 million to train new PSWs to support the high demand for jobs in the health and long-term care sectors. This is part of the provincial government’s Long-Term Care Staffing Plan, which is a large driver of the PSW recruitment in the province.
