The Member, a registered nurse and co-owner of a private seniors' residence, faced numerous allegations of professional misconduct relating to the care of a vulnerable elderly resident.
The Discipline Committee found that the Member unnecessarily restrained the resident, confined them to their room, failed to administer prescribed medications, and failed to seek required medical attention, ultimately leading to the resident's death from bronchopneumonia.
The Member also directed untrained, unregulated staff to perform nursing functions, submitted fraudulent invoices for care not provided, and misrepresented the facility's services and visiting policies.
The Committee found the Member guilty of professional misconduct, including physical and emotional abuse, and ordered the revocation of her certificate of registration.
