A Brampton nursing home that needed a $1.7-million bailout from the province to avoid bankruptcy over the soaring cost of care for a resident who is severely obese is now considering legal options to have him moved, the Star has learned.
The resident moved into the facility in 2017, and at that time his care was manageable, the report says. “The home is in financial distress because it is a not-for-profit home, has limited funds and cannot afford to financially sustain the care of this bariatric resident at current staffing levels with no increased funding.”
Lawyers have further advised the province there are “provisions which require a home with the advice of their legal counsel and medical advisory team to discharge a resident if there is a significant health and safety concerns,” says the report. The spokesperson said when caring for bariatric patients, staff are particularly worried about back, neck and wrist injuries.
