Ontario Health at Home barred new admissions to Extendicare Countryside in Sudbury effective August 6, 2026, citing a stated belief there is risk to residents' health, safety and well-being. It is the second such order in under two years at a 256-bed for-profit home the ministry has inspected 18 times, recording 120 findings of non-compliance.
As the SEIU Healthcare representative for about 300 workers at Extendicare Countryside, Savarie responded to the second cease-of-admissions order: "We're not surprised… there's not enough workers in the home." She said morale at the home has been low since layoff threats in April 2026.
