The Health Minister says the regulations have not been updated since 1985. It looks more like removed. Coming to the U.S. soon? A sad commentary on our so called Progressive neighbors to the North.
Here is the story:
Alberta’s new continuing care regulations come into effect April 1, but critics are questioning why the new rules do not prescribe how many hours of care residents of a facility should receive.
The Nursing Homes Operations Regulation said each resident of a facility should get a minimum 1.9 hours of nursing and personal care each day, but the new Continuing Care Act Regulations are silent on the issue.
“Until now, if an Albertan wanted to be assured that their loved one would get a minimum standard of care, it was in the law,” NDP Leader Rachel Notley said at a news conference Tuesday. “Now there is no guarantee.”
The new regulations were approved by cabinet in a closed-door meeting. They were published online at the end of February.
Questions about the new continuing care standards come as the government continues to face criticism over the case of Blair Canniff, an Edmonton stroke patient who was taken to a motel in Leduc by a contracted service provider after he was discharged from the Royal Alexandra Hospital earlier this month.
Canniff is paralyzed on one side and uses a wheelchair. He says he was told he was going to a long-term care facility. Instead, he was dropped at the motel, where he was given fast food meals and struggled to get into the bathroom and the bed. He was moved back to the hospital a week later.
“New rules do not prescribe how many hours of care residents of a facility should receive.” “The vulnerable in our world are supposed to be taken care of, and now the government is making it so that isn’t even a thing anymore.
Basically, now what this means is if you have not set yourself up for retirement, which the majority of the population has not because who are we f****** kidding? In this day and age, it’s hard enough to put milk and eggs in everyone’s fridges. It means that you’re not gonna it’s not funded.
The regulations do not mention a minimum number of required hours of nursing care. “We are moving to zero hours of care. This is extremely dangerous,” said Heather Smith, United Nurses of Alberta president, in a statement. Smith said while that was clearly inadequate, at least there was a minimum legal standard.” United Nurses of Alberta Says “New regulations eliminate all nursing care requirements for residents of continuing care homes in Alberta”

While New York has been in the news regarding the DOJ dropping the investigation into Nursing Homes Covid deaths, little time has been given to the other democrat controlled states who also had the bright idea of putting COVID positive patients there as well. New York and Michigan got the good news last week that they were off the DOJ hook, and now we hear that Pennsylvania too got the news. Across the country, tens of thousands of COVID-19 patients were accepted by nursing homes, more than 250,000 in the 12 months through March 1, according to federal data.
In Pennsylvania, about 65% of coronavirus deaths were nursing-home residents, and in counties in the hardest hit southeastern part of the state, long-term care residents account for as much as 80% of county deaths. New Jersey had 3,200 residents of long-term care homes die due to complications from the virus, about 40% of the statewide total.
About 58% of the deaths in Delaware lived in nursing homes, and 46% of the fatalities in Maryland were at nursing homes, prompting Gov. Larry Hogan to order residents and staff members at nursing homes be tested for coronavirus.
I have an idea of one good reason why the investigation was dropped.
Let’s connect a few dots:
Enter Dr. Rachael Levine, former Pennsylvania Secretary of Health. She/he is particularly loathsome. Not only did she send sick patients into nursing homes, just as the news broke in March, she moved her mother out of one and into a hotel. Think that was bad? She got rewarded by joining Biden’s administration. Now she could protect herself and her fellow Democrat States by keeping an eye on the investigation if there were to be one. Better yet, protect herself and others in her position. Her job now?Joe Biden’s assistant secretary of health.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — The Justice Department told Gov. Tom Wolf’s office on Thursday that it has decided not to open an investigation into whether Pennsylvania violated federal law by ordering nursing homes to accept residents who had been treated for COVID-19 in a hospital.
Let’s take a look at how absurd this whole thing is.
I really trust our Assistant Secretary of HEALTH with my well-being! You? 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/1qZHMswt9x
Pennsylvania Health Secretary Moves Mother to Hotel – Tom Wolf, Rachel Levine Hypocrites?
Pennsylvania made nursing homes accept COVID-19 patients, but health secretary’s mom was moved to hotel. Even as coronavirus patients were being funneled into state nursing homes, the state’s Secretary of Health, Rachel Levine, removed her mother from one of those facilities, lodging her instead in a hotel. She claims it was “personal care” – either way, it was “congregate living” no matter what she pleads.
Levine will become the first openly transgender federal official if confirmed by the Senate.
“Dr. Rachel Levine will bring the steady leadership and essential expertise we need to get people through this pandemic — no matter their zip code, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability — and meet the public health needs of our country in this critical moment and beyond,” Biden said in a statement on her nomination. “She is a historic and deeply qualified choice to help lead our administration’s health efforts.”
The news comes as Levine, the nation’s first openly transgender health secretary, comes under fire over the department’s handling of nursing homes — particularly a March guidance that essentially instructed senior living facilities to accept patients who were diagnosed with the coronavirus.
It gets even better this week. Not content that Nursing homes and hospitals are up to their eyeballs taking care of sick patients, she will have them go through all of the medical records and try and figure out if they are LGBTQ … add how many additional letters you need. Go figure. Priorities my dear… will some one tell her/him? For what purpose Dr. Levine? How happy should the LGBT community be that she is having people tracing their contacts? Going through their medical records?
Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) office this week announced that the state’s health department, under transgender Health Secretary Rachel Levine, is focusing on gender identity and sexual orientation or expression in the state’s collection of coronavirus data.
Note what is alleged: On March 29, Pennsylvania joined New York and other northeastern states in “ordering nursing homes to admit medically stable residents infected with the coronavirus,” despite warnings from groups like the American Health Care Association that such “health directives” could “unnecessarily cost more lives.”
These intrepid government officials should have heeded something known as common sense. Who but a fool would move infected COVID-19 patients into nursing homes? What was option two, moving them into Walmarts?
The article continued, “The death toll is devastating, according to interviews with nursing-home officials, patients’ families, health-care advocates, government officials and from an examination of state records … across the Northeast.” And yet, among the plagued northeast, the infection rate in nursing homes is uniquely bad in Pennsylvania.
…..
That possibility is getting major attention across the state. A devastating investigative piece was published in the Bucks County Courier Times (jointly done with reporters from USA Today), a county with a huge number of COVID-19 cases (the vast majority of Pennsylvania’s cases are in eastern counties close to New York and New Jersey). Titled, “States ordered nursing homes to take COVID-19 residents — Thousands Died,” it documents the disproportionate deaths in Pennsylvania nursing homes
More dirty dealings in New York by Cuomo. Don’t count on the media covering this little factoid. Truth be told, this is the beginning of the end of nursing homes in America.
We wonder why so many of these facilities are so poorly staffed and the care provided minimal at best? Simply the reimbursement rate for these patients doesn’t cover the cost of care. After the fee for service cleans out the patients bank account the nursing homes are stuck with what the state will give them via medicaid. Needless to say in most states it hasn’t increased as the cost of service continues to rise.
Enter one Andrew Cuomo as the scrutiny begins:
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who signed legislation granting hospital and nursing home executives immunity from lawsuits related to the novel coronavirus last month, previously received a big-money boost from a powerful health care industry group, according to a new report.
The Guardian reports that the New York State Democratic Committee, then backing Cuomo’s primary run in 2018, received more than $1 million from the Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA) — a lobbying group for hospital systems, some of which own nursing homes.
The donation made the group one of the state party’s largest contributors in that cycle. Three of the hospital association’s top officials separately gave more than $150,000 to Cuomo’s campaign between 2015 and 2018, the outlet reported.
That donation is now drawing scrutiny after Cuomo signed legislation last month that protects executives from lawsuits — just as he is under continued criticism for his March 25 order (since deleted) requiring nursing homes to take in COVID-19 patients.
On May 10, and amid increasing criticism, Cuomo issued a new directive stating that hospitals cannot send patients back to nursing homes in the state unless they tested negative for the virus.
So the push for legislation to change the liability for the homes begin. Once changed say goodbye to care for the elderly. Nursing homes will take the fall.
This is rich.
Cuomo deflects blame for nursing home coronavirus crisis on Trump
Look for new attacks on nursing homes. It is the way the swamp works.
Bonus: Even more disturbing and a story that has received zero coverage:
I now know what living was like for Robinson Crusoe….no, not shipwrecked nor floundered on some shoals. But a victim of cruel circumstances.
After decades of toil I retired. An over 55 retirement community became my destination. Lovely grounds right out of a story book. Activities that would put a cruise ship to shame. Extensive dining room options. Farm to table. What could be better?
That is where the good part of the saga ends.
See, this over 55 retirement community comes complete with what is called “continuing care” “home care” “assisted living” – and what is known as a “nursing home.”
Thus all the mandates government imposed on “nursing homes” fell upon the entire community as well as the management wanting to keep us “safe” they say.
I can be charitable and say what is being done is in our best interest. If not I can say it is a cruel measure being perpetuated upon the voiceless.
The “shelter in place” notion is no less harmful than the virus itself. Essentially everyone is locked down. Socializing? Nope. The cruise has ended. We are no more than inmates. Meals being delivered with a knock on the door by a faceless person with a mask and wearing purple gloves that makes them unrecognizable. They drop the package of food – our meals on the floor. Because you see, there can be no human contact.They scamper away long before one can get to the door.
The bus trips for “excursions” to faraway places have long ended. The bus shuttles that run several times a a week into town to get whatever we need has ended as well. Remember, this is for our own good. We are not to visit our fellow humans. No outsiders are allowed in. We are not allowed out. No family members. No one who isn’t required to keep us alive. If what we are doing is living.
I have exhausted Amazon Prime and Netflix movies. At least the ones I am interested in. I am a lucky one. I have binged. I am able to amuse myself. At least to a point.
I am one of the lucky ones. I like to think I still have my faculties. I have a car and able to drive. I can escape.
Spiritual care called.They asked if I had talked to anyone. They could set up face time. That was nice. Did I need anything? Nope.
I didn’t watch the COVID hearing last week. I wondered if it was a sign of depression. They warned us about that. Perhaps because it would be pouring salt in my wound.This COVID thing. They might discuss nursing homes and the need for additional draconian measures to keep us safe.
Perhaps a sign of my potential xenophobia… When I saw Trump at the latest presser attacked because he suggested the “reporter” (some kid there to hassle him) she ask China for the answer to her question. (She was Asian don’t you know) I thought yes… I could resent this China thing. Big time.
But I digress from my point. The designated nursing home.
Killing with kindness…
Those whose husband or wife who now lives in our designated nursing home but their loved one still has a cottage or apartment cannot visit their partner in the nursing home. Those who live in the designated nursing home are essentially not permitted outside of their room. No communal meals.
Thus little physical activity or mental stimulation. None of the group activities that give meaning to daily living. Loneliness that is a proven killer.
In a study of elderly Americans who moved to a nursing home for their final months or years of life, 65 percent died there within one year, according to an investigation by researchers at the San Francisco VA Medical Center and the University of California, San Francisco.
“One quarter of all deaths in the United States occur in nursing homes, and that figure is expected to rise to 40 percent by the year 2020,” says Smith.Smith describes the average and median length of stay before death as “surprisingly brief.”
The average age of participants when they moved to a nursing home was about 83. The average length of stay before death was 13.7 months, while the median was five months. Fifty-three percent of nursing home residents in the study died within six months.
Men died after a median stay of three months, while women died after a median stay of eight months. Married participants died a median four months sooner than those who were unmarried.
The implication, he says, is that “we need to engage nursing home residents in planning conversations about end-of-life care and treatment preferences very soon after they are admitted. We have only a brief amount of time to address their concerns before they become seriously ill.”
I can assure you that isolating these poor souls for the months they have remaining on this mortal coil is not in their game plan.
Robinson Crusoe by William Defoe:
“I cannot explain, by any possible energy of words, what a strange longing or hankering of desires I felt in my sould….O that there had been but one or two; nay, or but one soul sav’d out of this ship, to have escap’d to me, and to have convers’d with! In all the time of my solitary life, I never felt so earnest, so strong a desire after the society of my fellow-creatures, or so deep a regret at the want of it.”
This is what the swamp looks like on the inside looking out.
Fox’s Janice Dean who lost both her mother-in-law and father-in-law in a nursing home to the virus:
Translation: ‘Not my fault even though I approved the order that recovering corona virus patients could go back into nursing and assisted living homes. And then it spread like wildfire to the most vulnerable people that we are supposed to be protecting…’”

Dr. Richard/Rachael Levine, transgendered Health Secretary strikes again in Pennsylvania. Last week I posted how she/he had forced nursing homes to take COVID patients.
The news comes as Levine, the nation’s first openly transgender health secretary, comes under fire over the department’s handling of nursing homes — particularly a March guidance that essentially instructed senior living facilities to accept patients who were diagnosed with the coronavirus.
It gets even better this week. Not content that Nursing homes and hospitals are up to their eyeballs taking care of sick patients, she will have them go through all of the medical records and try and figure out if they are LGBTQ … add how many additional letters you need. Go figure. Priorities my dear… will some one tell her/him? For what purpose Dr. Levine? How happy should the LGBT community be that she is having people tracing their contacts? Going through their medical records?
Gov. Tom Wolf’s (D) office this week announced that the state’s health department, under transgender Health Secretary Rachel Levine, is focusing on gender identity and sexual orientation or expression in the state’s collection of coronavirus data.
“Governor Tom Wolf today took another step in his commitment to fair treatment and inclusion of LGBTQ Pennsylvanians by announcing ways the community will be counted in COVID-19 data,” his office announced on Wednesday.
According to the announcement, the Department of Health “will be conducting extensive case histories investigations as part of contact tracing on those who test positive for the virus” as individual counties begin moving from the red phase to yellow. As a result, the department will work with Sara Alert, described as a “new data collection platform,” and has requested a “system modification to the platform to collect sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data”:
The department has also requested from the eHealth Authority Board that the state’s six health information organizations work to capture sexual orientation and gender identity or expression data from electronic health records that can then be used by health care providers to report their COVID-19 data to the department.
The release also touts the Wolf administration’s commitment to working with organizations that are devoted to “non-discriminatory practices.”
The news comes as Levine, the nation’s first openly transgender health secretary, comes under fire over the department’s handling of nursing homes — particularly a March guidance that essentially instructed senior living facilities to accept patients who were diagnosed with the coronavirus.
Nursing care facilities must continue to accept new admissions and receive readmissions for current residents who have been discharged from the hospital who are stable to alleviate the increasing burden in the acute care settings. This may include stable patients who have had the COVID-19 virus.
Nearly 70 percent of the state’s coronavirus-related deaths —2,896 of 4,218 — are connected to nursing home facilities.
It was revealed this week that Levine removed his 95-year-old mother from such a facility during the pandemic.

Meet the Transgender Doctor Leading Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 Response
Rachel Levine
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) announced that he is opening criminal investigations into several nursing homes, as coronavirus deaths in care facilities soar. All the while, Wolf’s administration is, perplexingly, placing a special emphasis on gender identity and sexual orientation or expression in the state’s collection of coronavirus data.
According to the state’s health department data, 12,677 nursing home or personal care facility residents have tested positive for the coronavirus, and 2,896 have died as a result.
Roughly 1.8 million Pennsylvanians have filed jobless claims since the start of the pandemic.
Pennsylvania’s Governor Wolf and his Secretary of Health Dr. Rachael Levine forced nursing homes to accept COVID-19 patients. No fool is Rachael. She moved her mother who is in a nursing home into a hotel. Rachael knew how this bad movie was going to end. She only has to look north and east to her partners in crime in New York and New Jersey who implemented the same perverse policies.
But Wolf and Levine are not done yet. In order to deflect from their own stupidity they will have you outraged about the care the nursing homes offered. Even though the homes begged that they not have to take these patients. Add fuel to this fire is that many of these same nursing homes are the dumping ground of society. Medicaid patients. The financial reimbursement rate from the State has not come close to covering the actual costs of their care.The homes knew that they were not possibly equipped to care for these patients.
On March 18, Pennsylvania Health Sec. Rachel Levine ordered all nursing homes in the state to take COVID-19 patients.
On March 29, Levine moved her mother out of a personal care home.
Nursing home deaths account for more than two-thirds of the state’s death toll. … into several nursing homes amid a coronavirus outbreak that has killed 2,600.

Rachel Levine discusses role model status.
Last week’s solution for the nursing homes?
PA says no PPE for hospitals doing elective procedures.
HARRISBURG — The state has told hospitals it will not provide them with masks, gloves and other protective equipment if they choose to resume elective surgeries, as the priority shifts to nursing homes, where most of Pennsylvania’s COVID-19 deaths have occurred.
Secretary Rachel Levine said at a state Senate hearing Monday. “In the past, that has gone to hospitals. And we will give out to hospitals when necessary now, but the focus … is on long-term care living facilities.”
Levine said Monday that, while the state will still assist hospitals in hard-hit areas like Philadelphia, those that resume elective procedures will be cut off from the department’s stockpile.
On March 20, Levine ordered hospitals to cancel or postpone elective procedures… These procedures include heart catheterizations, joint replacements and colonoscopies.
I can vouch that the list of stopped procedures doesn’t even come close. All testing unless the patient was on death’s door was stopped. Cancer screening, eye exams. I could go on but you got the drift. These decisions will ultimately bankrupt many hospitals as well. On to government taking over healthcare and people will wonder how it happened.
What do the citizens say about all of this nonsense?
The rally Monday was organized by state Sen. Doug Mastriano, who says Dr. Rachel Levine hasn’t properly protected the state’s vulnerable older population.
Protesters call for Pennsylvania health secretary to step down
Yesterday I posted my experience of what life was like these days in a Pennsylvania retirement community in American Thinker. Wander over for a day in the life of living under the draconian rule of the democrats after they seeded these communities with COVID.
Because this is an over 55 retirement community, it comes complete with what is called continuing care, home care, assisted living, and what is known as a nursing home. All the mandates the government imposed on nursing homes fell upon the entire community as well as the retirement management wanting to keep us “safe,” they say.
I can be charitable and say what is being done is in our best interest. If not, I can say it is a cruel measure being perpetrated upon the voiceless.
Don’t have a heart attack in New York if you want to live to tell about it. Wonder no longer why the cause of death statistics in New York have taken a dramatic shift.
Under new guidelines issued by the state Health Department, paramedics finding people in a state of cardiac arrest without a heartbeat are not supposed to go through the usual routines of attempting to restart the patient’s heart and respiration. In other words, assuming you are seen by an EMT who is following this guideline, once you’re dead you’re supposed to politely remain on your trip to the afterlife.
While paramedics were previously told to spend up to 20 minutes trying to revive people found in cardiac arrest, the change is “necessary during the COVID-19 response to protect the health and safety of EMS providers by limiting their exposure, conserve resources, and ensure optimal use of equipment to save the greatest number of lives,’’ according to a state Health Department memo issued last week.
First responders were outraged over the move.
“They’re not giving people a second chance to live anymore,’’ Oren Barzilay, head of the city union whose members include uniformed EMTs and paramedics, fumed of state officials.
Particularly in New York City, this isn’t the first such policy change to be issued. The Regional Emergency Services Council of New York (which is responsible for overseeing ambulance services in the Big Apple) issued an even more stern directive. Cardiac patients whose hearts could not be restarted on the scene are no longer supposed to be taken to a hospital “for further life-saving attempts.” Read more at Hot Air

I heard Dr. Sapphire on Fox news yesterday say that people with Covid 19 were transferred to nursing homes. A story to be told.
As many of my readers know I live in a large retirement community which includes continuing care – thus a nursing “home” with various levels of care is included. More about my situation, but let’s get to how we got here.
Nursing homes have become the dumping ground for hospitals who have taken their pound of Medicare – they receive a flat rate, more if patient is on a vent- and then must find a way to get rid of them.

Discharging COVID-19 Patients To Nursing Homes Called A 'Recipe For Disaster' https://t.co/PlD3Sd9pOz
Nursing homes have been the sites of some of the earliest — and deadliest — outbreaks of COVID-19. Some people who run such facilities are understandably leery of accepting new patients who might spread the virus.
Nonetheless, some of the largest states are now ordering nursing homes to accept patients who have been discharged from the hospital but are still recovering from COVID-19.
These state directives have been strongly condemned by the Society for Post-Acute and Long-Term Care Medicine. Dr. Sabine von Preyss, chief medical officer for Avalon Health Care Group and president of the society’s Washington state chapter, says that a distinction must be made between nursing homes that have suffered COVID-19 outbreaks and those that are still virus-free.
“The question is, should we be forced to introduce a disease with such deadly potential into a population that has been sheltered?” says von Preyss. “And my experience tells me that would be ill-advised.”
Now that we have established these facts, let’s back up a bit.
The first warning of the devastation that the coronavirus could wreak inside US nursing homes came in late February, when residents of a facility in suburban Seattle perished, one by one, as families waited helplessly outside.
In the ensuing six weeks, large and shockingly lethal outbreaks have continued to ravage nursing homes across the nation, undeterred by urgent new safety requirements. Now a nationwide tally by The New York Times has found the number of people living in or connected to nursing homes who have died of the coronavirus to be at least 7,000, far higher than previously known.
It is a tragedy that is continuing to unfold, and one that even the dire figures that are known only partially capture. The number of cases at these facilities — which include nursing homes, assisted-living facilities, memory care facilities, retirement and senior communities and long-term rehabilitation facilities — is almost certainly still higher since many facilities, counties and states have not provided detailed information.
The outbreaks have been spread across the sprawling senior-care industry, including at publicly run facilities, those run by nonprofit groups and others managed by large corporations.
All of these factors have allowed the virus to thrive, making its way into at least 4,100 US nursing homes and other long-term care facilities, despite increasingly desperate efforts to stop the spread.
Why did many residents in nursing homes expire because of COVID in NYS? Because they were mandated to take COVID patients discharged from hospitals. What a STUPID move putting those infected with elderly people.

Relocating patients with COVID-19 to nursing homes
Here I am in bucolic Amish country – Lancaster County…..more retirement communities and nursing homes per square mile than anywhere else in Pennsylvania. I myself live in an Independent living situation within the retirement community. Lucky me. Now the secret.
LANCASTER COUNTY, Pa. —
The Lancaster County coroner said more than 80% of the COVID-19 deaths in Lancaster County have occurred in patients at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.
Dr. Stephen Diamantoni said the largest number of deaths have happened in Lancaster Township, and three facilities have been hit especially hard.
At Conestoga View on East King Street, 24 patients have died.
Hamilton Arms on South West End Avenue reports that 20 residents have died, and another 40 patients and 24 staff members tested positive for COVID-19.
The virus has claimed 15 lives at ManorCare Health Services on Abbeyville Road.
The truth? Sadly there is no required reporting of nursing home Covid illness and deaths for most states. We have no idea of the total number. Just the States that have reported.
While we hear the death report with our evening dinner every night, and how we must play the game of useless masks and distancing… by the way no N95 masks are available here for anyone that I see, let alone surgical masks, yet they are mandatory….We were told to “make our masks.” No one has any idea that their hand made cloth masks are a potential method of infecting themselves and clueless how to make themselves safe.
So I sit on death row…… a knock on the door, food left and the deliverer disappears into the distance. Yet no news about testing of the employees who will sooner or later visit the plague upon us.The gnashing of teeth about testing. But not for us or the employees. So we wait…….when its all done, we will be forgotten.
I doubt we, living here, have time for herd immunity to help us out.
Oh by the way…… We have a Progressive Democrat Governor too….
