WINDSOR, ONT. --
Seventy-year-old Linda Hari is one of five remaining residents living at Essex Manor Rest Home.
“This is the only place I can say I love to be in,” she said.
Fifteen others, who she considers family, have been transferred to other homes, after the County of Essex terminated contracts with Essex Manor along with a second location, Seniors Alternative Care, in Leamington.
“The county spoke with the residents that were housed at these two locations that are subsidized by the county. Those that wanted to leave we assisted with a relocation. The county covered the cost of that. The county made sure all COVID-19 protocol were followed to ensure a smooth transition of residents to their new home," David Sundin, the lawyer representing the county, said.
