Iron Ring

A whistleblower says LTC management removed door handles on rooms of COVID-19 positive residents to prevent them from freely moving around the facility. Can’t believe it needs to be said, but forcible confinement isn’t a solution to stop the spread of the virus.

White Cliffe Terrace is one of 18 Verve Senior Living retirement homes across Ontario. Verve also has properties in Alberta, British Columbia and Saskatchewan.

It adds insult to injury that residents must pay for the privilege of being trapped against their will (contrary to Fire Code & Criminal Code).

The manager who ordered the door handles removed is on leave while internal investigation is underway.

The overall lack of transparency & accountability surrounding LTC has been appalling. There’s a culture of indifference— sadly not holding my breath for any meaningful outcome.
