Silvana Aceto reports on Ombudsman investigation
Ontario 95

We should know more by January.

That's when Ontario's watchdog wants to see some recommendations after launching a full investigation into the province's monitoring of nursing homes.

Ombudsman Andre Marin says his office will look into whether the governing Liberals are holding nursing homes to account and ensuring they meet provincial standards.

Listen to CFRB's Silvana Aceto.

A recent investigation by The Canadian Press found three-quarters of Ontario's nursing homes consistently fail to meet some of the province's 400 standards of care.

Marin says his office has been reviewing 150 complaints about the system and says it doesn't seem to be working.

He says the elderly residents deserve better care.
