Huron-Bruce is receiving $3million in funding for long-term care homes in the region.
The province announced the funding last week, which is a part of the $270 million they plan to invest across the province over this year to increase staffing levels, which will lead to more direct care for residents.
Lisa Thompson, MPP for Huron-Bruce says that this funding will help the province reach their goal of four hours of direct care per day by 2024-25.
Thompson added that the province is also going to be investing money into nursing programs at colleges and universities to attract more students to the field.
