TORONTO -- Inspectors with the Ministry of Long-Term Care highlighted concerns of dehydration and malnutrition at Downsview Long Term Care home as far back as June 2020, raising fresh questions about when the provincial government was made aware of the apparent neglect in the nursing home. The conditions at the Downsview facility during the first wave of the pandemic have been under the spotlight after the Canadian Armed Forced reported that 26 residents had died in the home due to dehydration and lack of care. While the minister of long-term care said the government is “actively working” with the Ontario Coroner to “verify” the account from the Canadian Armed Forces, ministry inspectors detailed complaints of neglect during multiple visits to the home in May 2020.
