A personal care home in Winkler, Man., has been forced to close 26 desperately needed beds after its elevator became unstable, and petitioned the provincial government for months before Shared Health finally committed to fund the repair.
Karin Oliveira, CEO of Salem Home, had to make the difficult decision last month to move 26 people off the facility’s second floor after she lost confidence in the elevator that kept breaking down.
Yup. Never mind that not one province signed onto the agreement the feds wanted when they handed out the extra billions in healthcare transfers … so the provinces can spend that money in any way they want to – not just on healthcare. :/
