The Ontario Health Coalition, together with Cathy Parkes, the daughter of a man who perished in the home, sought a judicial review of the Ford government\u2019s decision to grant an 88-bed expansion and new 30-year license for the 233-bed long-term care home owned by Southbridge at Orchard Villa in Pickering. The Coalition and the families asked the court to quash the license. The case was argued before a panel of judges at the Ontario Divisional Court on Thursday, October 17, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>The advocates asked the court to require the Ford government live up to their own long-term care legislation. Under the <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ontario.ca\/laws\/statute\/21f39\"><em>Fixing Long-Term Care Act (2021)<\/em><\/a><\/span>, the government cannot issue licenses to long-term care home owners when their past conduct offers reasonable grounds to believe that the home will be operated in a manner that is prejudicial to the health, safety and welfare of its residents.<\/p>\n<p>Two hundred and six of Orchard Villa\u2019s 233 residents contracted COVID-19 and more than 70 died. At 30 deaths per 100 residents, Orchard Villa has one of the worst pandemic death records in Ontario.<\/p>\n<p>The <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/toronto.ctvnews.ca\/gut-wrenching-military-report-sheds-light-on-grim-conditions-in-ontario-nursing-homes-1.4954710\">military exposed<\/a><\/span> horrific conditions at Orchard Villa including residents\u2019 mattresses set on the floor so they could not get up, lack of hygiene, and unsafe infection control and medication practices. They found the home was dirty with cockroaches and flies present, a rotten food smell, residents left in soiled \u201cdiapers\u201d, residents left without hydration, improper feeding, a resident with a likely fractured hip left without proper care, multiple resident falls without assessment. There was poor access to supplies. Not only were residents on bare mattresses without linens, but also scarce wound care supplies, oxygen generators without oxygen, and broken suction units.The military\u2019s findings were not an aberration. Orchard Villa has a history of chronic non-compliance and continues to be cited for poor care in a <span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/publicreporting.ltchomes.net\/en-ca\/homeprofile.aspx?Home=2693&amp;tab=1\">litany of inspection reports<\/a><\/span> that describe many of the same issues exposed by the military.<\/p>\n<p>The Ford government has gone to extraordinary lengths to force through the approval of Orchard Villa\u2019s expansion, issuing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetrillium.ca\/news\/health\/province-issues-mzo-to-expand-long-term-care-home-with-horrific-record-7148482\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">an MZO forcing through the project<\/span><\/a>, overriding a <a href=\"https:\/\/globalnews.ca\/news\/9669068\/orchard-villa-long-term-care-home-mzo\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">unanimous vote by Pickering City Council opposing the plan<\/span><\/a>.
