🚨 Canada Effective April 1st 2024: NEW Continuing Care Regulation “Moving to 0 hours of care” Caregiver in tears: “So that means in a continuing care home, someone can be left for a week sitting in their own fecal matter and that's just okay now because it is now not the nurse's job to actually care for their patient.” “New rules do not prescribe how many hours of care residents of a facility should receive.” “The vulnerable in our world are supposed to be taken care of, and now the government is making it so that isn't even a thing anymore. We're going back in f****** time instead of forward, and I'm just baffled by this. How can you go to school and become a nurse and not give a **** about the people you're taking care of. There's already so many terrible nurses in the medical industry that try to get away with doing the bare minimum so that they keep their job. And now the government is telling them, you don't even have to do the bare minimum to keep your f***** job. It is now lawfully backed that you do what? The fuck is the point of a care home and a continuing care facility if they're not going to have assistance. This is f***** wild. Basically, now what this means is if you have not set yourself up for retirement, which the majority of the population has not because who are we f****** kidding? In this day and age, it's hard enough to put milk and eggs in everyone's fridges. It means that you're not gonna it's not funded. You're not gonna get the help that you need. You're not gonna have the products you need. You're not gonna have the care you need. They literally sent a patient who had a stroke to recover alone in a hospital or sorry, in a hotel in Leduc. Someone who had a stroke was sent to recover alone in a hotel in Leduc. I give up on this world. I didn't think it could get worse.” More information: “Care standards at continuing care facilities to be eliminated, say nurses and NDP - New Continuing Care Act Regulations coming into effect April 1” Alberta’s nurses warn that new provincial regulations will eliminate any legal requirement for continuing care operators to provide nursing care to residents. Last month, the province published a new Continuing Care Act Regulations that are supposed to take effect on April 1. The regulations do not mention a minimum number of required hours of nursing care. “We are moving to zero hours of care. This is extremely dangerous,” said Heather Smith, United Nurses of Alberta president, in a statement. Smith said while that was clearly inadequate, at least there was a minimum legal standard.” United Nurses of Alberta Says “New regulations eliminate all nursing care requirements for residents of continuing care homes in Alberta”
