The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) , Health Standards Organization (HSO) , and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA Group) worked collaboratively to develop two new national standards for LTC. Both standards have been shaped by the needs and voices of Canada’s LTC home residents, workforce, local communities, and members of the general public.
The standards address the delivery of safe, reliable, and high-quality LTC services (HSO) and design, operation, and infection prevention and control practices in LTC homes (CSA Group).
