The NDP says, not only has the province not operationalized the vague and unenforceable Program Guidelines for Special Care Homes, they still do not publicly report how they are being met on a facility-by-facility basis.
Official Opposition Critic for Seniors, Matt Love says, “Premier Moe and his government’s policy on seniors’ care in this province has been ‘out-of-sight, out-of-mind’.” He says, “Their treatment is nothing short of inhumane.”
Love says Saskatchewan is one of the only provinces in Canada that does not conduct unannounced inspections, and the province has no provincial care standards in place to protect residents.
