During a time when COVID-19 has devastated long-term care homes across the city and province, there are some in Ottawa that have been able to keep the virus out, including Osgoode Care Centre in Metcalfe. Since the pandemic began nearly a year ago, there have been no COVID-19 cases among residents. The home’s president and CEO Lori Norris credits that to early detection, masking and a hiring spree early on. “I probably hired close to 40-50 people in different positions so PSW positions, kitchen because our dining…moved to room dining, recreation we upped and housekeeping I’ve had to triple it,” said Norris.
