这个养老院疫情以来,100人感染,15人死亡,集体诉讼索赔1500万
整个美加养老行业都成了重灾区。养老院其实收费不低,能进去的人,之前大多数都是在社会上高收入人群,低收入的只能去政府资助的,比例不大。但人总有走不动的时候,走不动的时候,如果没有孩子照顾,就只能去这些地方。

各位想过未来养老么?对这里的养老还有信心么?还是有啥好的安排?

Ottawa’s West End Villa faces $15M class-action lawsuit over coronavirus outbreak


An Ottawa long-term care home facing a deadly coronavirus outbreak is now also being hit with a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the facility’s residents and their family members.


Toronto-based law firm Thomson Rogers said Thursday it is launching a $15-million class-action suit against Extendicare’s West End Villa long-term care home.

A coronavirus outbreak was declared at the facility on Aug. 30.

Since then, more than 100 people linked to the home have tested positive for the virus and 15 residents have died in relation to COVID-19, according to Ottawa Public Health.

The Ottawa Hospital has since taken over patient care at the long-term care facility.

Thomson Rogers, which has also filed a class-action lawsuit against Carlingview Manor in Ottawa, alleges West End Villa failed to provide its staff with proper personal protective equipment (PPE), ensure adequate staffing levels, and implement screening procedures to effectively keep the virus out of the home.

A spokesperson for Extendicare told Global News on Thursday it has not received documentation or notice of the lawsuit.

West End Villa has had a program in place to test staff since early June, the spokesperson said, “to identify and isolate cases as early as possible.”

The spokesperson also said the home has an “ample supply” of PPE to meet provincial directives.

“We continue to work closely with public health and the Ottawa Hospital to ensure our infection control practices are informed by the latest available evidence, and we will continue to test rigorously so that we can combat the virus effectively and remove it from our home as soon as possible,” the spokesperson said.

In previous statements to Global News, Extendicare’s spokesperson has also pointed to Ottawa’s delays in processing tests as a barrier to effective infection management and control.

“It is unacceptable that six months after the COVID-19 pandemic was first declared and after we have lost so many elderly victims, that the same issues continue to repeat themselves at some homes,” said Thomson Rogers partner Stephen Birman in a statement.

“The families of the West End Villa residents are frustrated and upset that their loved ones are suffering and deserve answers.”

Extendicare’s statement expressed sympathy for the families of residents who died in connection with the outbreak.

“Our focus at this time is solely on providing quality care to our residents, keeping our families informed and supporting our staff. Our hearts are with our community and those who have lost loved ones to this virus during this immensely challenging time.”
 
好幾十死了在Carling那個 老人院
 
加拿大的老人院既贵又差。但又能有什么办法。

截止倒9月29日为止,渥太华住院人数:317,重症抢救人数:74,死亡人数:287.

到今天为止,死亡人数的89% (257 / 289)来自养老院,退休院。

截止到9月16为止,在养老院,退休院中死亡人数98%(12 + 229)并没有死于医院。9月16日以后,改变了报道方式,未见具体报道。
 
没明白,要是住那里的老人们是原告,被告能赔的出1500万吗?
要是不能,那告也没用,要是能,赔款后,养老院倒闭,这些原告们以后住哪呢?
 
欧美加拿大政府,感觉在老人院里爆发疫情之后,故意消极治疗。这次西方死去很多老人。

如果去世有相当比例在医院,说明医疗和保健系统是尽职的,
但如果98%去世的却不在医院。那问题就很大了。

到9月20日为止,大概89%(246/276) 死亡发生在养老院和退休院,似乎其中只有4 / 246人(1.6%)经过医院治疗。不知我的理解是否正确?

应该是去世老人的家属告吧!养老院倒闭影响不到他们了。
 
大量死在养老院的一个重要原因是,很多医院在当时情况下根本不收那些养老院病人,加拿大范围都是这样
如果听或者看本地英文新闻的,都应该知道
 
老人院本来就是人生的最后一站,死亡很正常。现在的报道有失公允。

到我们老到走不动的时候,都是几十年之后的事了,估计那时机器人保姆和医生已经普及了。都可以在家养老,一对一的专业保姆和医生。现在存钱最重要,买机器人啊。
 
儿女把父母送到老人院,也是用老人自己的积蓄吧,很多子女老人活着很少管,老人死了告老人院自己获利?
 
in Montreal more than 30 death at long term care home in a week.
