Alberta’s well being minister says a non-profit that shipped a stroke affected person to a motel for his long-term restoration shall be taken off a roster of businesses supplied to supply assist after a hospital discharge.
Adriana LaGrange says she doesn’t know who compiled the checklist nor who was accountable for it, when Blair Canniff was discharged from an Edmonton hospital and brought to a Travelodge south of town.
Canniff advised CBC he thought it was a joke when his cab pulled as much as the motel earlier this month.
His spouse advised CBC the room couldn’t accommodate his wheelchair, he was fed quick meals and his hygiene wasn’t sorted.
Canniff mentioned the company offering his care was Contentment Social Companies, which didn’t instantly reply to an inventory of emailed questions from The Canadian Press.
LaGrange says she’s sorry Canniff feels the service he ended up getting was misrepresented and there shall be a overview of all suppliers on the checklist.
“We will solely acknowledge that there’s a problem right here that must be addressed. We’ve now been capable of decide what that problem is,” LaGrange mentioned Thursday.
“And we’re going to go ahead ensuring that we right what that problem is.”
