MINISTER OF HEALTH JOHN BOYCE wants to see a decrease in the number of complaints the ministry receives about poor service at nursing homes for the elderly.
Boyce said that although the ministry worked alongside homes to upgrade their standards, more needed to be done.
“We continue to receive too many complaints with respect to lack of work ethic, poor nutrition, limited recreational activities and even elderly abuse,” he said yesterday. “I urge you today to again use the opportunity provided by these workshops to examine your administration processes and clinical care offered to our senior citizens.”
The minister was speaking at a seminar on care of the elderly at the Pan American Health Organisation office.
