COVID-19 are seniors living in Canada’s long-term care homes.For Heidi Horn, the worry is real. The 85-year-old has been living independently in a facility run by Calgary Heritage Housing.
She’s comfortable and happy, so much so that she never plans on leaving.“No I won’t. I won’t consider a long-term care home, not after this.
No way,” Horn said.Watching on the sidelines about the spread of infection and concerns about how residents are treated is overwhelming, she says.“It shocks me.
I worked in seniors’ places and I promised myself I am going to stay here,” Horn said.Global News teamed up with the Institute for Investigative Journalism’s (IIJ) Project Pandemic consortium to analyze statistics on the infection rates inside these nursing.
