Sask. woman claims her elderly father was assaulted at a Warman care home [Video]

A Saskatchewan woman says her elderly father is suffering from a brain bleed after he was assaulted at his care home in Warman.

Charmaine Macooh claims her 92-year-old father was hit at Diamond House on Feb. 5.

The Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) says the Ministry of Health is conducting a review of the incident.

“I certainly can’t comment on what occurred in the personal care home,” John Ash, SHA vice-president for integrated Saskatoon health, told CTV News.

“Personal care homes are regulated by the Ministry of Health and they were notified of an incident and they’re conducting their review.”

Macooh believes the man who allegedly hit her father is a patient who was brought into the facility, under a new agreement between Diamond House and the SHA.

In November, in an effort to deal with hospital overcapacity, the SHA asked care homes to take on some patients.
