“It painted a picture of organizational chaos, of a disaster in infection prevention and control and ultimately of loss of life,” Laura Tamblyn Watts, CEO of CanAge, a national seniors’ advocacy group, told Global News. “We saw infection prevention and control failures, we saw a lack of staff backup for core roles such as scheduling,” Tamblyn Watts said. “The whole thing became a house of cards and there is blame at every level.”
