🚨 A HEAT WARNING IS IN EFFECT IN ONTARIO YET OVER 200 LONG-TERM CARE HOMES DON'T HAVE AIR CONDITIONING! 🚨

Doug Ford and his Ministers are being loudly booed. *At a vigil.* That's got to be a first.

“I feel like I’m never going to have meaningful contact with my son ever again. I feel like I’m losing him. I would rather die.” This is the trauma families and residents of group homes are experiencing right now. (Shared with permission) @ToddSmithPC Lisa Gretzky

So I just found out Ontario hasn’t mandated that new #LTC homes being built must have AC throughout. ARE YOU JOKING ME @DrFullertonMPP Doug Ford Ontario Long-Term Care ⁉️

🔴🔴ATTN: LTC FAMILIES🔴🔴 Let me know if your loved ones #LTC home does NOT have Air Conditioning throughout. Add the info. as a comment below or DM me. (Feel free to add what the owners are doing to mitigate heat exhaustion in residents - Fans? Window AC units?)

So me and @studiofrew decided to create a more accurate graphic for the current state of AC in #LTC (thanks to information provided directly to @cristina_CP24 by the Ontario Long-Term Care) 🔴AC in common areas ➖Yes (86%) 🔴AC in resident's rooms ➖Yes (54%) = ❌❌❌

Peel police have charged a 59-year-old woman with 11 counts of failing to provide necessities of life after being accused of not giving medication as prescribed to residents of a Brampton long-term care home. cp24.com/news/woman-acc…

BREAKING- An employee at Brampton’s Grace Manor Long-Term Care Home has been charged by police after allegations medication was not administered to patients as prescribed. #onpoli

“As a result, investigators have discovered that 11 residents of the long-term care home, with varying cognitive abilities, were victimized in this incident.” #onpoli

So remember the home where a staffer was just charged by Peel Regional Police for failing to give medications to 11 residents. Well look at this inspection report from APRIL at the home (Grace Manor #LTC- Brampton). ‼️RESIDENT DIED FROM DEHYDRATION‼️ Full report: publicreporting.ltchomes.net/en-ca/File.asp…

Shameful. Hard to believe this is acceptable online content @OntarioPSWAssoc - our most vulnerable deserve DIGNITY, RESPECT and AFFECTION. Her account also discusses short-staffing issues. A lot. Take a look @DrFullertonMPP 👀

I just want to remind people that TikToker Shelby was affiliated with the #OPSWA. The OPSWA declared her as their "official Tiktoker" therefore they are just as responsible for the content as Shelby is. Alzheimer Society of Ontario

🤨 New Minister of LTC with the Premier having an intimate discussion for just $1600/ticket! We know who will pay that-the execs & stakeholders of private LTC homes! 4,000 seniors died under this govt! Families grieving so add insult to injury 😡#onpoli #VoteFordOut2022

Imagine if a teacher posted videos/memes making fun of a student with disabilities & it was shared far and wide by the ETFO? We‘d all be outraged, and demand immediate action. Why aren’t we equally outraged when it is done to seniors in LTC? #onpoli Rod Phillips Doug Ford

.Rod Phillips I am going to need clarification on this. Up till now, essential caregivers CAN visit during outbreak. Please tell me you’re not suggesting this stops?

FYI I clarified this with Rod Phillips and it’s not a change (they will revise). Caregivers remain allowed inside during outbreak ✔️

Researchers: Participated in a research study. Typically, once the interview is complete we never hear more, and don’t have access to published study. Just rec’d email asking if I’d be interested in reviewing initial themes. Yes please! That’s how it should be done 🙌🏻

In case you forget, Ontario is the province where abuse which causes an animal to die results in a $25,000 fine…but elder neglect in LTC which caused deaths from dehydration, rather than #COVID19, resulted in no fines...but a reward of more bed licenses. #LTCJustice

Lorenda Reddekopp CBC Toronto I stand with Families re #OrchadVilla because I know much of what happened. A disgrace! A shame! Yet they have gotten additional beds? and a 30 years licence extension? Premier Doug Ford Ministers Rod Phillips & Christine Elliott #RescindLicence Ontario Ombudsman #LTC

Why do 75% of Canadians say significant change is needed in LTC but only 20% believe it will happen? Because our governments & for-profit LTC companies have made us too cynical to believe that the status quo can change. We can fix eldercare. We must & we will. #LTCJustice
