NEGLECTING SENIORS: How Ontario is Failing Its Seniors in Long-Term Care During COVID-19

Listen on

Episode notes

Dr. Samir Sinha is the Director of Geriatrics at Sinai Health in Toronto. He joins me to talk about why thousands of residents of long-term care are dying during COVID-19. Plus, why for-profit homes are faring worse and how years of neglect is leading to chaos. I also attend a LTC protest and speak with Dr. Vivian Stamatopoulos about what's happening inside these homes. Spoiler alert: too often, care is not top-of-mind.
