Long-term care platforms

Here's what the 2025 Newfoundland & Labrador election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Create an independent standalone monitoring and licensing body for long-term care and personal care homes, with powers to impose sanctions for non-compliance

    "We will also create an independent standalone monitoring and licensing body, to monitor Long Term Care and Personal Care Homes for compliance with operational standards, investigate complaints, and impose sanctions for non-compliance.

PC

  • Create laws to protect older adults in care

    "Create laws to protect older adults and improve home care, supportive housing, personal care homes, and long-term care." — For All of Us, retrieved 2025-10-08

  • Use a 10-year plan to make sure there are enough personal care homes and long-term care beds

NDP

  • Legislate that no couple is forcibly separated in long-term care

    "We’ll pass legislation, similar to legislation passed in Nova Scotia, ensuring that no couple is forcibly separated in long-term care – bringing comfort and compassion back to families." — A Better Deal for People in Newfoundland and Labrador, retrieved 2025-09-27
