The Star found that most homes facing a director’s referral had already received multiple written notices of failing to follow both provincial regulations and compliance orders from inspectors. “These operators are let off the hook even after repeated compliance orders and director’s orders. And even if a director’s order is made, there is little incentive for homes to comply. A follow-up inspection in February and March 2020 found the home did not comply with the director’s order from the previous autumn. Instead of referring the problem back to the director, inspectors simply issued another compliance order.
