RIP PLP

He will end up in Westmeath ($12000 a month) or at a rest home next to Dreb in Marthas or Caymans.

Keep pointing fingers back and forth doesn’t change anything. Just as we are pulling together for the AC, lets pull together for our seniors! No it doesn’t make anyone money, but maybe karma will remember the good that is done now when you are old.

the optics seem like a lot of time was wasted waiting for people on both sides to either take the initiative, or do their jobs.

sooo, the previous government did have oversight or enforcement of the act from 2001 – 2012 or 11 years and you are displeased with a 4 month response? The ability of this opposition to remind us how insanely inept the former government was is staggering.

That aside, lets pretend the call for action came from a credible source, we do need some significant action on the Seniors issue, Bermudians are less and less likely to care for and support their parents in their own homes, or the care becomes too medical in nature so unfortunately many need to enter a facility. Is there a measurement, rating system for care homes, is this published? Then we as users could see what homes are providing quality care and what homes are not, this should be a published report. Same with schools fyi.

When ‘Aunt’ Louise Jackson brought this subject up, time and time again, Burgess and his cohorts shut her down and even barred her from entering Lefroy House when she showed up to see if the promised work had been completed by the PLP. It didn’t, despite numerous promises and apparently funds allocated to the project. Yet nothing.

As noted these recent stories that have hit the press occurred years ago. So stop with your pathetic and predictable politricking PLP. You did nothing while you were in power and now have the nerve to act like all this has only come to fruition under this Government.

Having said that greater inspections need to be carried out on all these so called ‘rest homes.’ Actually, one of the rest homes named by Burgess (in Southampton) was where one of my grand parents lived when they died. Prior to and after their death our family issued numerous complaints to the Government regarding the sub par nature of the home. We were simply brushed aside with false promises of following up. This was in 2010/11. How ironic, now out of power, Burgess and his colleagues want to raise a stink and pin this on the Government. It is absolutely pathetic. But yet so predictable.
