Island Heath at-home elderly care is unreliable, says Langford daughter
CHEKMichele Lee says home-care from Island Health for her mother Kathleen has become increasingly unreliable with last-minute cancellations.
Five years ago, her mother Kathleen’s health began to decline, starting with a sudden stroke and then two broken hips within half a year. Lee soon found her care was more than she could handle alone, signed up to receive Island Health’s at-home care. “All they can say is we’re sorry, put her in private care. Put her in a home. You know we want to have these people to age in place but they’re encouraging you to, because they can’t handle it, to put them in homes,” said Lee.“We are aware of this situation and we acknowledge the family’s frustration and concern about their loved one’s care,” Island Health told CHEK News in a statement.
