Springdale Retirement Living in Springdale, N.L. Shane Penney, the owner of Springdale Retirement Living, says staffing has reached critical levels as the home contends with a COVID-19 outbreak. Penney said he advised Central Health of both situations, and the health authority told him he was going against protocol. However, Earle said the COVID-19 situation in privately-run personal care homes — such as Springdale Retirement Living — is becoming more concerning. "What we're hearing now is private personal care homes actually looking for help from our public sector employees," he said.
