Hey @extendicare. I’m hearing your St.Catharine’s location is going on 23 days in a row of residents being isolated to their rooms. Can you confirm❓Families are contacting me saying the residents are losing their will to live. It’s very upsetting for them!

"After discussions with @TOPublicHealth and @extendicare , the organization that manages the long-term care (LTC) facility, restrictions were eased, allowing residents to take short walks in the hallways"

"A PSW brought a lift to her room at 8:02 p.m. The second worker arrived a moment later. They had a routine: hook the lift to the ceiling, slide Judith into the sling, hoist her up and then lower her into bed. The first worker left within 5 minutes. The second stayed until 8:16"
"Workers would check on her again, but Judith was in bed for the night.
The next morning, two day staff arrived expecting Judith to sing a greeting, usually Doris Day’s “Que Sera Sera,” but today she screamed when they tried to roll her over in bed"

Tune into @CP24 to hear @RodPhillips01 talk at 3:30pm.
Here we go: He is being DIRECTLY ASKED ABOUT OUR PRESSER this morning.

His reply: There are 208 LTCs in outbreak. He says @AndreaHorwath is being irresponsible wanting to expose residents to virus?? (huh??)

He says: 3rd doses are now mandated (but not until Jan 28)
YES @jcrandles_cp24 asks @RodPhillips01 WHY there are still thousands of LTC residents WITHOUT A THIRD DOSE!

Says 90% of residents have received their booster now (was 85% last week), this is still 7,500 RESIDENTS WITHOUT A THIRD DOSE!!

Ps. I was warning this government that #Omicron was becoming an issue for #LTC back in early December. There were 7 outbreaks by Dec 07 but the rate of growth was clear. I continued to track it ⬆️ over the last 3 weeks. They should’ve listened and acted sooner.

REMINDER: I've been calling for #BOOSTERS for #LTC for 2+ weeks now. Had they listened + acted faster, we could've completed boosters in LTC by now. Instead, only 84% of residents + 43% of staff have boosters and no word on that # for essential caregivers. #Reactive #Omicron
Case in point: My warnings from DECEMBER 13 (2+ weeks ago).
So in 2 weeks they ONLY increased boosters among staff by 11%⁉️😬

🧵 So we’re learning 41 #LTC homes are in outbreak & general visits are being halted. Essential caregivers STILL allowed in (good!). They’ve increased boosters among staff + residents BUT only meagrely & the figures are still too low! (84% residents & 43% of staff have boosters).
STILL NO MANDATE FOR N95 USE AT ALL TIMES (only when caring for covid+ residents) & STILL NO TALK OF AIR QUALITY UPGRADES OR SURGE STAFFING PLAN.

This plan focuses on 💉’s & still falls short. Why aren’t mobile clinics being sent to #LTCs to expedite boosters @RodPhillips01⁉️
