Early in 2016, the Réseau du mieux-être francophone du Nord de l’Ontario (RMEFNO) received funding to conduct a needs study regarding long-term care homes in the Northeastern Ontario Region. This two-part needs study is expected to be completed in March 2018. This report summarizes the results of Part 1, for the North East Region, based on the data collected on Francophones and long-term care homes in Northern Ontario. This report covers the challenges faced by Francophones in minority situations who reside in long-term care homes. As well, we touch on culturally appropriate care, and provide examples of best practices gathered from long-term care homes across the province. Finally, we make recommendations regarding long-term care homes in the North East. These recommendations address identification and designation under the French Language Services Act, as well as culturally appropriate care.
