Why are some long-term care and retirement homes banning families from seeing their loved ones? Administrators say it's because they're being too aggressive. Families argue they're just fighting for better care.

They should hire a private detective to investigate the director of the nursing home. Something very wrong there.

This woman has the right to speak up if the conditions were not as they promised. Many seniors have no one and are vulnerable. These family members should have the right to see their parents live in dignity.

So the attitude is "stay in line, we have a hostage"

I wish they'd mentioned the names of those facilities here. This way, the public would know to boycott them.

I worked as a RPN in Long term care Facilities for 20 years, about. The stories I could tell would perm your hair. It's outrageous the neglect ,particularly due to staffing problems and quality of care, supplies, quality of food,and much more. I hold The Ministry of Longterm Care responsible for all these problems. My heart breaks for these family members.

I’d move my mother somewhere else, once I got out of jail for knocking someone TF out.

This place, "City View Retirement", needs it's name dragged through the mud, in my opinion. This is one place social media can come in handy with spreading the horrible practices of this place and others like it. This is going to become more of a problem with our aging population. Sue them, take them down on social media, and make sure you have POA for your aging parent so you can make decisions for them and be the one to get them out of places like this, and ultimately stop the cash flow to these abusers.

Years ago I was an nursing assistant at a nursing home, the families that watched and talked to the administrators got their loved ones better care. I can't help but shudder at this report.

They don’t like visiting because the staff break the rules

How can they advocate for their parents if they can be kicked out for doing so? Don’t these elders have a say in seeing their families?

This is why my boyfriend's grandma was moved into his aunt's house cause we as a family do not trust these places and we're not going to put his mom in one of those nasty places
