Due to problems with the health and safety of residents, the Ministry of Health has chosen Riverside Health Care Facilities as the interim administrator of Rainycrest Home for the Aged in Fort Frances.
Given the short notice, Riverside Board Chair Craig Saunders notes officials with Extendicare, a private management firm, have been asked by the ministry to provide assistance.

Fort Frances Mayor Dan Onichuk, who chairs the Rainycrest Board, says he’s concerned about Extendicare’s current involvement and feels the public has been misled.
