Attention: Long Term Care Leaders
Are You Dreading Your Next IPAC Inspection?
There have been changes to MOH Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) standards and rules taking effect in 2025
A new PIDAC standard for preparedness of highly infectious diseases.
Fully Revised PIDAC Chapter: The Provincial Infectious Disease Advisory (PIDAC) has released a revised “Infection Prevention and Control” (IPAC) chapter that impacts Long-Term care settings.
Like many others, you could face costly compliance orders, negative press, possible litigation and significant financial loss.
How Can You Make Sure You Are IPAC Compliant and Avoid a Crisis?
After 10+ years and over 2,000 inspections across 60+ Ontario LTC homes we built a proven system for IPAC compliance with PIDAC, MOH, PHO, CSA, and IPAC best practices.
PREVENTION: You can be IPAC Ready: We help you close every critical IPAC gap before inspectors do
BECOME COMPLIANT: We help you correct inspection infractions and stay compliant.
When two Ontario long-term care homes racked up a number of IPAC infractions, they landed under management orders, and had to halt new admissions. Both turned to us; Infection Shield
Immediate Action
We immediately ran a 270-point full-spectrum assessment and closed every cited item and uncovered numerous hidden gaps inspectors hadn’t flagged
Then we went to work:
- Prioritized high-risk fixes first, then over-hauled processes, signage, surveillance, and documentation.
- Rolled out a live compliance dashboard so leaders could track hot spots in real time.
- Coached the IPAC Lead and front-line staff until new habits stuck, regardless of each home’s unique culture.
- Held mock inspections and rapid-response huddles to hard-wire long-term readiness.
RESULTS
Every overlooked gap, beyond the original infractions, was closed, creating a sustainable, inspection-proof IPAC culture.
Outbreak days dropped sharply; PPE and hand-hygiene adherence now exceeds 95%.
Compliance jumped from the low-60% range to a perfect 100% and stayed there through multiple surprise re-inspections.
Both homes reopened to admissions and now promote their spotless record to families and regulators.
Even struggling homes can flip their IPAC outcomes.
