Unfortunately we no longer do that, thanks to the shift to the Conservatives, like the Campbell/Clark Liberals or the Harper Conservatives. We cause PAIN to our Seniors, who can least afford to pay for home support, simply because the dollar is more important than insuring these old people get the proper care, and attention.

It keeps long term costs down, while insuring that elderly people are given the respect they deserve. It avoids unnecessary stress & fear, but it also allows for preventive health care. Regular workers, can find differences, that can be easily corrected before they become major health issues. It saves money, over time.

The real issue is that neither VIHA, nor Beacon Community Services, are concerned about the quality of care, merely that some form is provided. And if someone gets hurt, neglected, in the process, well VIHA saved some cash, Beacon made some cash. After all, it is the bottom line, isn't it?

That is VIHA's response, and Beacon Community Services, but hey, I shouldn't worry because they have mother's best interests at heart. Yeah & I fell off a turnip truck today too. NOT!. There has to be accountability, after all, it is taxpayer money being spent on this private contract, and we have a right, to expect qualified staff, not a rookie, not someone who is clueless on how to care for the elderly.
