Structural Compliance Premiums for Self-Funded Renewal Projects

Structural Compliance Premiums for Self-
Funded Renewal Projects
Introduction
In conjunction with the launch of the Long-Term Care Home Renewal Strategy the Ministry of
Health and Long-Term Care is implementing an adjustment to the ministry’s previous policy on
providing structural compliance premiums for self-funded long-term care home redevelopment
projects under the Policy for Funding Construction Costs of Long-Term Care Facilities, April
1999. Under that policy, homes originally classified as either B or C were not made eligible for
increased funding if they were modified or replaced to meet current standards.
Effective April 1 st 2009, beds previously classified as either B or C may be eligible for a
Structural Compliance Premium (SCP) of $5.00 per day per bed if the beds were redeveloped
to the standards outlined in the Long-Term Care Facilities Design Manual, May 1999 (Design
Manual).
Eligibility
To be eligible for the SCP the following conditions must be met:
.
o The ministry reviewed and approved plans for the redevelopment of the beds.
o The ministry approved the redeveloped building for construction start prior to
March 31, 2009.
o No government funding was provided to the operator to support the
redevelopment of the beds.
o The operator of eligible beds must apply to the ministry for the SCP and receive
ministry approval of the application.
o The application deadline for SCP for self-funded projects is June 30, 2009 by
17:00 (EST).
