A Toronto malpractice lawyer is launching what she calls an unprecedented class-action lawsuit against one of Canada’s biggest nursing-home companies, charging that it routinely neglects or mistreats elderly residents. Though it is a private business, Mississauga, Ont.-based Revera is wholly owned by the Public Sector Pension Investment Board, a federal Crown corporation. Diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and dementia, he had been a resident at Main Street Terrace, a Revera home in Toronto. The suit alleges that Jones was rushed to hospital late that May, unable to speak, with an elevated heart rate and temperature. “There has to be some way to get justice for my Dad,” the daughter said in a statement issued by Oakley.
