PRINCE GEORGE – A family from our region is speaking out due to their frustration over a lack of suitable home care for their parents. And they feel the COVID-19 pandemic has only made matters worse.

Michele Gatacre is concerned her elderly parents aren’t getting the proper home care they need. To compensate, she frequently travels to Prince George from Fort Fraser to help out.

Gatacre will continue to drive from Fort Fraser to care for her parents, but the stress it’s causing on her is too much.

Gatacre says other families are suffering through similar situations. She’s been encouraging them to contact their MLA with their complaints.

Northern Health suggests those looking for enhancing their health care service reach out to their primary care team.
