An Annapolis Valley couple, married for nearly 70 years, is being forced to live out their remaining years apart due to what their family says is a deeply flawed medical assessment. Orchard Court is also home to Marjorie's brother and it is where her granddaughter, Tammy Crossland, works as a licensed practical nurse. More than 900 people are waiting for the highest level of care — nursing home beds — in Nova Scotia, according to Stevens. After his last hospital stay, Tammy brought Edwin home to live with her while the family appeals his assessment. The couple was separated when Edwin was deemed ineligible for a bed at the nursing home where his wife is residing.
