from the Adult Residential Facility, including: the timeline of when this decision was made by the
Department of Public Health and whether alternatives options were considered; the reasoning and

fill staffing vacancies, including any efforts made to hire staff on an urgent priority basis; breakdown of
the Adult Residential Facility's budget as it relates to operating and staffing costs; justification for why
over 20 permanent beds remained empty over the past year, even as people were awaiting entry into
the long-term care facility; reasoning for why new clients have not been submitted to the Adult
Residential Facility since September 2019, despite availability of beds; how changes to the provisions
of services at the Adult Residential Facility were communicated to frontline staff, residents, their
