THUNDER BAY - When Debbie Shubat learned her mother Amy contracted COVID-19 last November while living in Southbridge Roseview Manor, she was devastated and says she has been living in a nightmare ever since.
“Every time I hear her, the little I do hear from her, and see her, I can’t stop thinking about her. I dream about her,” Shubat said. “It has been my living nightmare for all these months.”
Shubat, along with hundreds of other family members and organizations, gathered for a virtual media conference hosted by the Ontario Health Coalition calling on the Ford government to take immediate action to address the crisis in long-term care homes across the province and stop downplaying the numbers.
The daughter of a Southbridge Roseview resident is among those sharing painful stories of family members in long-term care homes during the second wav.
