Rod Phillips says LTC operators are in the 'best position' to strengthen their own policies, adding that the government is aiming to see 100 per cent of staff vaccinated.shots for nursing-home workers as some of the largest operators in the sector introduce stricter policies.

Chartwell Retirement Residences, Extendicare, Responsive Group Inc., Revera Inc., and Sienna Senior Living said the stronger policy is necessary as the more contagious Delta variant spreads amid a fourth wave of infections. While he defended the current policy, he said the province will look at unspecified ways “innovate again” to get rates higher.
