The exchange followed a weekend CBC report detailing how a man paralyzed on his left side after a stroke, who uses a wheelchair, was moved to a Travelodge motel in Leduc, a bedroom community just south of the provincial capital, without being consulted. His wife, Myna Manniapik, told CBC that Canniff struggled to go to the bathroom and to get into bed as the motel room was not set up for wheelchair users.Story continues below advertisement
The Canadian Press emailed Alberta Health Services with detailed questions about how often motels are used for such cases and how it works to ensure the quality of care and meals, as well as the accessibility of accommodations. AHS is the delivery arm of the province’s health system.
