Grandma lived here for a couple years - during visits, the nurses can be seen 'force' feeding the elders. Furthermore, there is a lack of respect, patience,and most of all - compassion from the caretakers.

The environment there seems to be hectic and the nurses' frustrations and attitudes are reflected in the way they carry out their duties.

The common theme of "It's hard." regarding the role of a nurse/caretaker is a poor excuse for treating someone with no mindfulness about their total well-being: psychological, emotional, and physical.

There were some nurses and particular who had some inkling of kindness and compassion but those few likely know who they are.

Update: This place was found to have violated 51 regulations made by Ontario to ensure the well-being of residents. This included abuse, general improper treatment of residents, and shortage of staffing which directly influences the well-being of those living there. They were told to stop accepting new patients. Unfortunately for the ones who still live there, they have my deepest sympathies. As for other options, please do your research before as there are most certainly better options. Your relative will live their senior's life in peace.
