London, Ont. widow speaks out against Bill 7 following husband’s death
On Wednesday, Ontario’s Progressive Conservative government passed legislation, known as Bill 7, that would force hospital patients awaiting long-term care into nursing homes not of their choosing on a temporary basis.
“I do understand the impetus to use nursing homes, but we know the problems endemic to them,” Berges said. “Our most vulnerable are going to be sent to nursing homes that no one would elect to be in, if it were their choice, and those nursing homes are going to be full to the brim.“For pity’s sake, they were sending people there back in February.”
“There were 30 beds, eight of them had COVID, and there were two personal support workers ,” she recalled. “On the weekend, there was no one there [and] Don just started to go downhill immediately because no one was giving him his meds in a timely fashion.“This is supposedly a rehab place, and you couldn’t have rehab in the hall because everybody was in the rooms,” she said. “One of the PSWs told me she was planning on quitting if somebody else hadn’t shown up.
