7 Planning for Long-Term Care
8 Definitions of terms used throughout the guide are explained below Term Patient Meaning The person applying to go to long-term care (LTC) SDM Substitute Decision Maker - The person identified to apply on behalf of the patient LTC LTCH CCAC OHIP POA Placement Long-term care Long-term care home Community Care Access Centre Ontario Health Insurance Plan Power of Attorney Term used to explain the process and/or act of applying for long-term care Relevant legislation & criteria The legislation that is pertinent to the placement process includes: Long Term Care Act Substitute Decisions Act Health Care Consent Act Consent and Capacity Personal Health Information Privacy Act The eligibility criteria includes: Valid Ontario OHIP card Over 18 years of age Care needs can be met within a long-term care home setting Alternative community resources have been exhausted Updated September 2015
9 Where do I start? The Mississauga Halton Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) is your single point of access to information about, and to apply for admission to, long-term care homes. You cannot apply directly to the LTCH. Each Mississauga Halton CCAC patient is assigned a care coordinator who collaborates with patients, families, caregivers and/or substitute decision makers to assist patients in making health care choices and achieving their short and long-term health care goals. Your Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator will: Provide you with information about LTCHs Provide information about financial options, if required Complete an assessment at your home or in hospital and determine your eligibility Help you with the application forms and coordinate the application process to facilitate access to LTC Provide information on alternatives to LTCHs, such as supportive/assistive housing, retirement homes and seniors apartments Empower you or your decision-makers with the information you need to make an informed decision on a LTCH that suits your needs and interests Tip It s a good idea to talk to someone you trust and let them know what you want your life to look like in the future should you not be able to make decisions for yourself. Place you, if necessary, on the waiting lists of the LTCHs you select Offer you a bed in a chosen LTCH when one becomes available If you need more information or would like to discuss the LTC process in the Mississauga Halton CCAC region, please call (CCAC). No area code is required. 1
10 What are my options? Care in your home Before you think of leaving your home for a long-term care destination, the Mississauga Halton CCAC will help you to explore all your options to be supported at home. If you need help with day-to-day tasks, such as bathing and cooking, you may be able to stay in your home with the support of home care services and/or care in the community. Care in your community The Mississauga Halton CCAC will connect you to community services that are right for you. You can take advantage of a variety of support services available in your community, whether you re receiving care in your home, or managing on your own. Our knowledgeable staff provide the key link between you and all the available community-based services to help you achieve your best possible health care and wellbeing. Community-based services such as meal services, friendly visiting, adult day programs and many more, may enable you to stay in your home longer than you thought possible. But if you do determine that you need more comprehensive support, here are some options to consider: Retirement homes are a good fit if your care needs don t require 24-hour nursing availability, specialized services and government subsidized care. Convalescent care may be the right level of care if your medical condition requires nursing care and other resources on a 24-hour basis. Typically, complex continuing care is necessary when care needs cannot be met in long-term care. Short-stay is ideal if all you need is a brief stay in a long-term care while your caregiver or loved one is on vacation or taking a rest, or while you are recovering from an illness or surgery (this is also referred to as respite care). Long-term care homes may be what you need if you have exhausted all the services in the community and it has become too much of a challenge for you or your caregiver for you to stay in your own home. If you are a veteran you may be eligible for Veterans Affairs Priority Access long-term care beds. 2
11 How do I know when it is time to apply for long-term care? There is no simple rule to tell when it s time to apply for long-term care. Each person has a unique blend of care needs and available resources. Making a decision about when to seek long-term care requires time and planning because there are a number of factors to be considered. Family members and caregivers feel a range of emotions when a loved one moves into a long-term care home. Some are relieved to share the care responsibilities, while others may feel guilty or uncertain about their new role. While feelings of grief, loss and guilt are normal, keep in mind: Sometimes professional care in a long-term care home environment is necessary for the well-being, safety and comfort of loved ones Being a primary caregiver is a large responsibility; create time for yourself to ensure your own needs are met Your attitude can help a loved one feel safe and secure in their new environment; try to remain positive during visits and interactions It is important to remember that friends and family members are still involved as part of the care team, and can still advocate for their loved one. It might take a few months for a loved one to become accustomed to his or her new living arrangement. Visit as often as you would like, and encourage friends and family to do the same. People often make the decision to explore long-term care homes when: Family caregivers are no longer able to provide care Their health condition requires a high level of personal support or ongoing nursing care They are unable to return home after hospitalization Their care needs exceed what can be provided by other services in the community Help is available for you and your family caregiver every step of the way. You can ask for help from: Your Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator The Mississauga Halton CCAC office simply by calling (CCAC). No area code is required Your family physician or other health care providers in the community who are involved in your care 3
12 How do I apply? There are five steps in the application process: 1. Completing the application Once you have made the decision that long-term care is the right place for your needs, you work with a Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator to begin the process of completing the application. Your care coordinator will guide you through the process of completing all the necessary paperwork to ensure you apply to the homes that meet your care and lifestyle needs. Part of the application process involves a Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator completing an assessment to ensure that your care needs can be met in long-term care. If it is determined that your care needs are not appropriate for long-term care, your care coordinator will help you determine the best place for you to get the help you need. 2. Visit the homes you would like to consider Tip To learn about long-term care homes in your area go to: A Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator is always available to work with you as you go through the process of selecting homes. You will be asked to choose up to five long-term care homes in the province of Ontario. You will also be required to identify your choice of basic, semi-private or private accommodation. The best way to know if a home is the right fit for you is by scheduling a visit. 3. Waiting to hear from the long-term care home that your application has been accepted Once your application is completed and a Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator has determined long-term care is the right place for you, your application will be sent to each home you have selected for a review. Each home will respond back to the Mississauga Halton CCAC and to you regarding whether your application is accepted. If it is not accepted, a reason will be provided to you and the Mississauga Halton CCAC will help you to look at alternatives. 4
13 4. Preparing to accept the first available bed Once your application has been accepted, you will wait until a place becomes available for you. The time you wait depends on: the number of beds available in the home, whether available rooms are for males or females, whether beds are in private, semi-private or basic rooms. While waiting, it is important that you are aware of the following information: You or your family caregiver is expected to be available for a bed offer at any time. This means Mississauga Halton CCAC staff must have the most up-to-date information on how to reach you should a bed become available Waiting periods range from days, months, or even longer depending on the type of accommodation you are waiting for and your care needs Mississauga Halton CCAC staff may ask for your assistance in obtaining medical updates from your family physician to ensure your records are kept up-to-date and that your application is maintained in good standing at the long-term care home of your choice If you are in hospital while you wait, your Mississauga Halton CCAC care coordinator may ask you or your family caregiver to reconsider long-term care home choices that have an excessively long wait list. This will enable you to be placed in the most appropriate care setting in a timely manner. You can always move from your current long-term care home to one of your preferred choices at a later date once a bed becomes available 5. Responding to a bed offer When a place becomes available at one of the homes of your choice, Mississauga Halton CCAC staff will contact you to either accept or reject the offer. You must provide a response within 24 hours after receiving the call. During this time, you can speak with your family or caregivers about this decision. i. Accepting the offer of a bed If you choose to accept the offer, you are expected to move in as early as the next day, or within five days. If you are waiting for a long-term care bed from home, you may hold the bed for up to five days but must be moved into the home on the fifth day or you will lose the bed. If the bed that is offered to you is not your first choice, you may also choose to keep your name on the waiting lists for your other choice(s). ii. Refusing the offer of a bed If you are waiting for long-term care in the community and refuse the offer, your application to all chosen homes will be cancelled. In this case, you cannot re-apply for 12 weeks (three months), unless there is a significant change in your condition or circumstances. 5
