The passion behind the compassion
The Ontario Long Term Care Association is the voice for excellence in long term care. Founded in 1959, OLTCA was originally known as Associated Nursing Homes Incorporated of Ontario and later as the Ontario Nursing Home Association. 

There are currently 498 long term care facilities in Ontario caring for over 57,000 residents. OLTCA represents 330 of these homes where more than 31,000 people live and an equal number of people work. Over the next four years an additional 20,000 long term care beds will be built in Ontario. 

OLTCA also represents the professional management staff of long term care facilities through its Professional Advisory Council. As well, OLTCA has over 200 commercial members who provide products and services to the long term care sector.

OLTCA operates under the direction of a volunteer Board of Directors, elected from the membership, and is managed by an Executive Director and a team of professional staff who provide coordination and liaison among the members, as well as providing input on public policy development. The OLTCA works in partnership with the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care in particular on resident care concerns, policies, legislation, regulatory issues and funding. 

OLTCA members are known for the high level of administrative and management expertise they bring to the delivery of quality long term care services. This expertise is supported by the activities of various OLTCA committees and initiatives dealing with resident care, human resources, professional development, training and education.

OLTCA is the catalyst behind the issues. The organization that promotes vigorously, advocates tirelessly and, above all, gets the job done.  For our members. For our residents.
