All long-term care homes in Ontario are regulated by the Ministry of Long-Term Care and inspected by the provincial government. As municipally owned long-term care homes, all three Woodingford Lodge homes (Woodstock, Ingersoll, and Tillsonburg) are operated by Oxford County, with Oxford County Council providing oversight for their management.

Documents on this page are posted under requirement by provincial legislation, or are shared to provide more information about long-term care from government or agency sources.
