#Long Term Care Facilities

[allthecanadianpolitics]

Class action lawsuits against six of Ontario's largest for-profit long-term care (LTC) home providers, claiming gross negligence that led to illnesses and deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been allowed to proceed.

In a ruling last week, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice certified class action suits against Sienna, Revera, Schlegel, Responsive, Extendicare and Chartwell.

The separate class actions were filed on behalf of thousands of clients, family members and visitors, who allege the companies were unprepared to provide care during the pandemic and failed to protect the health of residents and visitors.

NPR: N.C. hospital sues an 18-year-old quadriplegic to make her leave

"Ratcliff, a quadriplegic who uses a ventilator, has lived at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist since she was 13. She wants to leave, too. But not to the nursing home the hospital found for her in another state.

She wants to live in a home nearby, close to her family and school.

When she refused to move to the distant nursing home, the hospital sued her for trespass."

A 10-person team of long-term care investigators in Ontario will now look into allegations of homes failing to protect their residents from abuse or neglect.

I think one of the strangest powers I've collected over the years is realizing when people are nervous. For an emotional state I occupy 98.7% of the time, the realization that other people also worry about stuff and (consciously or not) seek validation for their choices? is wild. I thought it was just me!
