The nursing home where convicted murderer Elizabeth Wettlaufer worked is set to open its doors to new patients again starting this Monday.
The Ministry of Health and Long Term care has lifted the order to stop admissions at Caressant Care Woodstock.
This means Caressant Care will be able to start admitting patients again this Monday, December 4.
In a statement, Manager of Corporate Communications Lee Griffi says the nursing home will be working very closely with the Placement Team at the South West Local Health Integration Network to ensure a smooth admission process.
“We will be utilizing every available resource to make sure our new residents have a seamless transition into their new Home. Our current residents are certainly looking forward to
making new friends and our front line staff members are ready to provide excellent care,” says Griffi.
Caressant Care Woodstock was ordered to stop admissions at their facility earlier this year, after ex-nurse Elizabeth Wettlaufer was found guilty of murdering seven patients there.
