Alberta NDP Leader Rachel Notley wants province to apologize for sending man recovering from a stroke to a motel in Leduc
Alberta’s health minister says proper procedures were followed when a stroke patient who, for his long-term recovery, was shipped to a motel where his wheelchair didn’t fit and he was fed fast food.
The exchange followed a weekend CBC report detailing how a man paralyzed on his left side after a stroke, who uses a wheelchair, was moved to a Travelodge motel in Leduc, a bedroom community just south of the provincial capital, without being consulted.CBC reported Canniff, 62, had been a patient at the Royal Alexandra Hospital for about six months, when a social worker told him two weeks ago he was being moved.
It says its work includes employment assistance, housing referrals, financial management, “women empowerment” as well as senior, disability and respite care.Canniff told CBC he has since been taken back to hospital and doesn’t know what the next step is.
