Here is the full statement:
Woodstock – Caressant Care Woodstock Long Term Care Home is cooperating fully with police investigating the actions of a former staff member, a registered nurse, who left our Home's employ approximately two and a half years ago.
We remain in regular contact with the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care. Our highest priority is to continue to provide for the physical, social and spiritual needs of our residents, and that remains our focus.
We deeply regret the additional grief and stress this is imposing on the families involved.
