Staffing was down to less than 50%, food & high risk medications were given up to 2 hours late. Wounds were not treated properly.This was happening as the outbreak started - just a couple of weeks ago. The daughter of a resident said to me "nothing was learned from the 1st wave"
This was Neville Pereira. He died of "COVID19 on Sunday at Sunnycrest long term care in Whitby - he was 94. His daughter tells me he was excited to turn 95, that was his goal.
