Have a Look at Care Homes - If You Dare


BC's Health Minister has rejected NDP leader Caorl James' call for a serious look at all seniors care home operated by a company called Retirement Concepts.


That's too bad.


My personal experience suggest that we need a serious and ongoing and vigilant look at ALL seniors "care" facilities.


The lack of care at so many of these places is a 7-hour movie unto itself.

David, did you know that this gov't closed down two senior care facilities in Trail and Rossland & moved the old folks to Vernon where family members have great trouble getting to visit them. In winter the road out of Rossland is icy, snowy, and almost impossible to drive. There are many secret stories like this across the province.

Yes, I do know that.

I also know that Premeier Campbell was quick to scoop a foto op with Lance Armstrong, but he is heartless when it comes to the welfare of the elderly and children.
