"It seems there was no discussion with the family on moving the decedent to a safer environment," the report states. "Wandering risk was not mentioned in the 6 month assessment."

The report claims there's a gap between the type of care advertised by #CareHomes & the level of care actually being provided.

It's also not the first case from #Ontario that the committee reviewed of a #RetirementHome resident with dementia who died after exiting a building.

For context, this absolute bellend also voted against the Equal Pay Transparency Act and against gay marriage. He was described by one of his Conservative colleagues as a "pathetic, unkind and nasty man". (Wiki)

Politics Live: "Tory peer, Lord Jackson says he's sympathetic to couples facing prospect of being torn apart by the new salary thresholds, but why should he "subsidise their lifestyle choices"?" (Best for Britain, X)

Save Dorincourt Care Home

"Please help us today. We are the residents of the Queen Elizabeth Foundation’s Dorincourt care home in Leatherhead, Surrey, and have been told to leave our home by July 31"

This includes people who have complex physical support and health needs, who use wheelchairs and require 24-hour care. And some of them also live with a learning disability.

If you're in the UK, please sign. Thanks.
