Horrific living conditions including a rodent infestation, food contamination and issues with mould have prompted public health officials to close a private group home serving seniors in St. Thomas, Ont. Health officials are now working to find alternate accommodation for the home's 26 residents, many of whom have special needs. That prompted an interior inspection by health officials. Niagara Centre NDP MPP Jeff Burch mentioned conditions at Walnut Manor at Queen's Park last year. Burch shared the story of Karen Barry, a Sarnia woman whose father was a resident at Walnut Manor.
