Police say the complaint alleged that during the pandemic staff had removed some of the door handles. Tawab Karimi, 40, of Oshawa, has been charged with two counts of unlawful confinement. He was released on an undertaking. The retirement home’s operator said in February that it launched an investigation into a senior staff member at the facility. A statement from Verve Senior Living said door handles removed from “a small number” of suites belonged to assisted living residents. The statement did not specify why the handles were removed, but several media reports allege the residents involved had tested positive for COVID-19. The Canadian Press could not independently verify the allegation.
