WATERLOO REGION — No longer will people deciding on long-term care have to rely on personal anecdotes or how a home looks or during a quick visit.
Now they can use an online tool that measures the quality of care in long-term care homes across Canada and allows comparisons.
Researchers at the University of Waterloo lead the development of criteria used for the tool, launched this week by the Canadian Institute for Health Information.
“It empowers the public by giving them information that they can use to make decisions or ask questions about quality of care,” said Prof. John Hirdes of UW’s school of public health and health systems.
“Now you can judge for yourself.”
The searchable database includes more than 1,000 facilities in nine provinces.
