Nurses, personal support workers and therapists have left home care in droves during the COVID-19 pandemic.
“We lost literally over 3,000 nurses and skilled therapists and personal support workers to other parts of the health-care system,” said Sue VanderBent, the CEO of Home Care Ontario, which represents home-care providers in the province.
Home care workers left their jobs for better pay in hospitals and long-term care homes, she said.
