Absolutely. I have thought that for years. Even if we start with something as simple as one personal support worker to eight residents, that's still too big for the record because of the varying mental health and physical issues, but if we just start with 1:8, then we will start to see a decrease in bed sores, in behaviours. We would see less burnout of the frontline staff because then there would be guaranteed only eight people they have to care for. Right now we're seeing one PSW to 18 to 20 residents, and that's in an evening shift. Overnights it's one PSW to 35 to 45 residents.
We need to see change, and I think it needs to happen from this part down.
