My name is Bonnie, and I lost my brother John in March 2024 due to what I believe was negligent care by a homecare nurse.

John was scheduled to receive a home visit from his nurse on March 25th, 2024. According to her, she was unable to locate him that day—but she waited until March 26th to contact me. John was meticulous about his care and would never miss a scheduled visit. Alarmed, I immediately called the police to request a welfare check. They found John deceased in his bed. The coroner confirmed he had likely been dead for a day or more.

This delay in action and communication is unacceptable. I have reached out to lawyers, advocacy groups, regulatory bodies, and journalists. No one has taken meaningful steps to investigate or hold anyone accountable.

I am calling on the Ontario Ministry of Health, the College of Nurses of Ontario, and local homecare agencies to:
- Investigate the circumstances surrounding John’s death  
- Hold the responsible parties accountable  
- Strengthen oversight and response protocols in homecare services  
- Ensure families are notified immediately when patients are unaccounted for

John mattered. His life mattered. And so does the truth.

Please sign and share this petition to help bring justice—not just for John, but for every vulnerable person receiving care in Ontario.
