Mixed feelings as one special care home saved, one closed in Néguac, N.B.
Nurse Marc-André Vienneau, who has been working in long-care for 15 years, saw an opportunity and is in the process of purchasing Villa Néguac.
The province has issued him a temporary licence while the transaction is in process, saying all standards were met prior to issuing it.That means Léo and the other residents can stay put. “The care was not neglected. It’s not part of what was going on,” Vienneau said of the situation that led to the licence being suspended under the previous owner.
Global News attempted to reach previous owner Amarjeet Singh Jatana, who also owns Foyer St-Bernard, on Thursday and Friday. “Residents were happy to see me for the first time when I announced the takeover and staff were happy as well,” Vienneau said.“The new owner is excellent, he is a good man. We think things will go better now,” Savoie said of Vienneau.
