I totally agree with all which was said and as usual Government is trying to sugar coat the issues instead of just excepting responsibility for their neglect and faults. I have spoken to several of my friends which work at Lefroy and they have all expressed that they were informed by management that the Bermuda Health Council issued a letter indicating that due to the failed physical infrastructure of Lefroy and its unfit living standards they are to be closed and evacuated by November 30th. Since which Government officials have been at Lefroy just about every day trying to cover their tracks and failures. Now they are tell the public a totally different story from what the staff have been told. Government definitely need to be honest and start taking responsibility for the conditions they have put the seniors and staff in. And to believe our Government expressed during the election that seniors were a priority. I just wonder would any of our politicians put their loved ones there to stay in those conditions.

I am so glad to finally see this come to the medias attention. This building situation has been in a SERIOUS state of disrepair every since HURRICANE FABIAN.
The issues concerning this building, have been reported to upper management multiple times over the YEARS with absolutely nothing being done other than moving clients and staff from one building to the other with band aid repairs being done. There are multiple vacant building onsite that are basically in ruins and unsafe even for stray animals. These buildings have issues such as asbestos, mold, water pipe bursts, termites (with the dropping falling on clients), roofs leaking etc. It has taken for more than one staff member to become seriously ill by the state of these buildings, for the powers that be to FINALLY address and attempt to fix.
Who knows, people have had their family members pass away of apparently natural causes due to age, however how does anyone truly know the real cause. I doubt autopsies were ever performed. Chances are half of them probably passed away due to the deplorable conditions of those buildings which could have affected their health.
At present there is only one operational staff bathroom for a team of over 30 people. The conditions that the staff currently have to work in are definitely a Health and Safety concern.
I truly hope that the Ministry will do all that they possible could for the clients and staff to be able to live and work in the safest environment possible.
