HORROR AT MONTREAL’S LONG TERM CARE RESIDENCE HERRON

The Quebec coroner, health authorities and the police have launched
investigations in the wake of the deaths of 31 residents at a Montreal
seniors’ home
, where the owners allegedly withheld medical
files
and staff left their posts amid an outbreak
of the novel coronavirus
.

Relatives described a facility where only one or two orderlies remained
on each floor,
urine bags were left dripping on floors,
residents struck by COVID-19 were not properly isolated and others lacked
food or clean drinking water
.

The 31 deaths occurred since March 13 at Montreal’s West Island,
a 154-bed private nursing home on Montreal’s West Island.
