What about the senior who was left in a restraint for 12 hours in a Victoria care home a six months ago? What about the naked photos of residents in a care home taken for sport by staff in the Okanagan last year? What about the BC Ombudsman's Inquiry into seniors' health care underway right now, that was initiated because they had received an overwhelming number of complaints? The media's role in ignoring these matters, and moaning about "no issues" is alarming.
