Other considerations

The OPG endeavours to make all decisions in a timely manner. However, a number of factors may impact on the decision-making process and the timeframe in which a decision can be made, for example in cases where:

the person or their family is objecting to the nursing home placement
there is conflict within the person’s family about the decision
there are delays in the person’s financial administrator being able to confirm the person’s ability to pay for the proposed placement
the person has complex behavioural or medical issues which require specialist support
the person has specific cultural/religious needs
it is highly desirable that the person be placed in a particular locale.
