After a series of articles rather than the Toronto Star last year highlighted the easiest way the elderly suffer around the poor care in Ontario hospitals and abuse within Ontario Nursing Homes, we learned find out the the cause for over-crowding and long waits for the sickest of the maturation.
Lo and behold, us Nursing Homes, which we for being taxpayers fund, are playing games alongside with your the elderly and such families that must care for them: they are choosing the healthiest of a elderly to populate their facilities, while those that want it the most, are left behind in hospitals, who subsequently, threaten families and elderly with illegally inflated payments, despite the fact that Premier and the Minister of Health both pronounced fees should not meet up with $50. Sounds like any tag-team wrestling match, and provide Nursing Homes and hospitals teaming up, only we are the type being pummelled to the earth, face-first, with our feet and hands tied behind our shells.
Shameful. Dishonest. Not Sufficient. This government and its shortage of oversight must be challenged.
The easiest way to assure there is transparency as well as forum for citizens to complain about a essential of human rights, as protected under my business Charter of Rights, is usually to allow the Ontario Ombudsman to oversee to investigate into all areas regarding healthcare. Today, the office in regard to the Ombudsman cannot investigate complaints about the following:
criminal arrest decisions
centers
hospitals, Nursing Homes and try to long-term care facilities
academy boards & universities
specialists
police
government programs or decisions
store-bought companies & individuals
Why must not Nursing Homes, hospitals and options have objective oversight? Only via an external mechanism can we truly have accountability and responsibility in doing what are growing areas given by concerns. Self-regulation through Ontario College of Physicians, also Ontario Long-Term Care Marketing team or, Ontario Long-term All the best Association, has not shown to be sufficient in the protection the needs, rights and concern.
We can collectively put up change happen. My motivation stems from our father's last years' being cared by the best minds in terms of medication, but also by some that are found lacking in both requisite experience and empathy, and in facilities that represented a handful of the worst parts of the way Ontario healthcare system. I also want in order to look my mother rather than the eye and know that we're doing what I can to stand up for their protection under the law.
Your MPPs need to don't forget that we want more, anything but less protection and oversite.
Do you care enough to contact your MPP and voice your online?
