Ill senior shouldn’t be moved so much

-

Maybe someone out there can clear this up for me. After several weeks at Sacré-Coeur hospital, it was decided that my husband needed to be in a long-term care facility. It was explained to us that his first move would be somewhere on the West Island where we live. Then after some yet-undetermin­ed time, he would be moved again. This would in all probabilit­y be in the east end of Montreal, which would be most inconvenie­nt.

His stay there could be anywhere from one week to nine months for evaluation. His third and last move would be back to the West Island to a facility of our choice, if a room was available.

Could somebody explain to me why a senior who is not in good condition to begin with should be moved three times? Heather Lague, Dollard-des-Ormeaux
