According to the union representing more than 60,000 front-line workers in the province, Joanne Dykeman, who was the executive vice-president of operations at Sienna Senior Living, made the alleged comments during a video conference town hall with the families of Woodbridge Vista Community Care residents on Wednesday night.
On Thursday evening, Sienna Senior Living said in a statement that Dykeman is no longer with the company. He said Dykeman “didn’t fully end the session and referred to us as those ‘blood sucking class-action lawsuit people,’ followed by personally ridiculing family members who asked questions.”The virtual meeting was held after families demanded answers over the weekend following the transfer of 18 residents with COVID-19 infections to hospitals.Families previously told CP24 there is a lack of communication from the management about the situation in the facility.
Public enquiry is needed in Quebec & Ontario more inspectors on the ground needed more money & staff the shame of our country for decades to come letting seniors in CHSLD die dehydrated not of covid19 huge thank you to our Canadian military report exposing the horrors Action svp
Sienna Senior Living is just now launching a review of their operations and practices? After all this time? What a lie! Trying to save their lying butts. fordnation celliottability needs to interview every staffer of the last 5 years, who complained, quit, was fired & why.
People need to be held to account for real. Losing your job is a business decision. Where are authorities to charge people in power positions for being directly responsible for seniors being assaulted, mal nourished, psychologically and physically abused, and dying in their care
CTVAtlantic Smile and wave bye bye and let’s hope this is your last job in this field.
Same for not confiming the allegations first off. Should be priority for your outlets character. However, corporate greed has no place in longterm health facilities. This is not isolated thinking among executives. Most are narcissistic scumbags.
Good. Hopefully she wont make her way into another health care or social services setting.
Maybe she should be put in one of these homes.
'If Sienna was sincere about real change, they should call on Doug Ford for a full public inquiry and agree to testify in front of a judge.” Well said!
How is this different than Trudeau mocking FN protestors begging for clean water by saying ThankYouForYourDonation. ? Remember he said 3 Times! Why the doublestandards ?
As the Executive Vice-President - Operations and Long Term Care of Sienna Senior Living, the total compensation of Joanne Dykeman at Sienna Senior Living is CAD$631,753 But the families are the blood suckers.
Bye Karen.
4UWell Not only do they not care about frontline staff, this just confirms that upper management don't care at all about the seniors or families. All they see is a dollar sign, not people. Good riddance.
Heartless trash!
Disgusting.
I hope she rots in hell.
Allegedly means not proven. If she did it that is terrible. If she didn’t it was a horrible attack on her character. Apparently finding out truth is not meaningless This is the new normal.
Apologies not accepted. These are your true feelings or you would not have said.
C U next Tuesday
Can we unleash protests at her Home Asking because apparently Twitter doesn't approve of Appropriate levels of response to Certain Oligarch situations of Blatant Bias.
Good. I hope she gets dementia next year
Good.
'allegedly'? 'Alex, what is legalese for done did it'?
Well isn't she pleasant GoodRiddance
