Charles Cormier's family member, quadriplegic, caught COVID and the hospital refused to meet their complex care needs. Cormier and his daughter worked eight-hour shifts to care for them instead. After discharge, the promised hospital-at-home program never showed up.

About a year ago (relative to the speaker).

Eight-hour shifts each.

He got Covid about a year ago now and it was a complete disaster because the hospital could not take care of him. They didn't want to deal with his quadriplegic needs, which are high. They could only deal with his Covid needs. So my daughter and I were basically just being there around the clock, doing eight hour shifts each. And that went on for a long time because then they eventually sent him home for hospital at home, but then they never showed. There was not a single nurse nor doctor that ever turned up.
