摘要
This paper contributes to the legal and socio-legal literature on long-term care (LTC) facilities (also known as nursing homes) by drawing from the responsive regulation literature and empirical research conducted in 2021 and 2022. Enforcement is an under-explored aspect in the legal and socio-legal literature on LTC. This research asks how the regulator's enforcement activities shape compliance of LTC homes in Ontario. This paper reports the results from eleven semi-structured key informant interviews with associations that represent LTC facilities, advocacy organizations, unions, and professionals, such as lawyers. The current enforcement activities do not appear to evoke responsiveness in at least some of the LTC homes because the regulator's approach is not dynamic: the regulator does not change its mix of "persuasion" and "coercion" in order to respond to the motivations and behaviours of homes. Inspection and enforcement activities have had little impact on how homes respond to rules. Cet article contribue a la litterature juridique et sociojuridique sur les centres de soins de longue duree (SLD), aussi appeles << maisons des aines >>. Pour ce faire, cet article examine les ecrits relatifs a la reglementation reactive (responsive regulation) et se fonde sur des recherches empiriques menees en 2021 et 2022 afin de montrer que l'application de la reglementation est un aspect sous-explore dans la litterature juridique et sociojuridique sur les centres de SLD. Par une telle approche, cette etude cherche a examiner comment les activites d'application de la loi de l'organisme de reglementation peuvent faconner la conformite des centres de SLD en Ontario. Cet article presente les resultats de onze entretiens semi-structures avec des informateurs cles tels que des associations qui representent les centres de SLD, des organismes de defense des droits, des syndicats, des avocats, etc. Les activites d'application actuelles ne semblent pas susciter de reactivite dans la plupart des centres de SLD puisque l'approche du regulateur n'est pas dynamique : il n'y a pas de changement dans les pratiques de << persuasion >> et de << coercition >> afin de repondre aux motivations et aux comportements des centres. Les activites d'inspection et de mise en application n'ont donc que peu d'impacts sur la facon dont les centres repondent aux regles.
