She didn't have COVID-19 but was barely eating and drinking and died on April 28 at Cummer Lodge in Toronto. Lenore took her to Las Vegas for her 70th birthday in 2011.
“Things sort of spiraled out of control, and very clearly, many of these patients did not have to die because they would have been fine if they were hydrated and fed,” said Dr. Nguyen, who said his experience in the seniors’ homes was more difficult than caring for Ebola patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
More than a month after Shoshana Padro’s Toronto nursing home closed to visitors, her daughter Lenore got news that she was barely eating or drinking and was on the verge of death. Miranda Ferrier, president of the Ontario Personal Support Workers Association, said overworked care aides have admitted to her that they have forgotten to feed people.
People with dementia, who make up about two-thirds of the long-term care population, are particularly vulnerable. Many need partial or full feeding assistance, which takes time that staff don’t always have. Changes in routine, such as being confined to their rooms because of an outbreak, often cause confusion and worsen symptoms.
