How this all happened.

This Website recounts the distressing experience of Eileen and Trevor Wicks, a Canadian couple living on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, whose peaceful retirement was shattered when Eileen, suffering from dementia, was forcibly removed from their home and institutionalized by Island Health. We want to highlight a broader societal concern in British Columbia where seniors, particularly those with health conditions, are allegedly apprehended under the Adult Guardianship Act, leading to a loss of their fundamental rights, independence, and quality of life.

This information illustrates a lack of transparency, financial exploitation, and inadequate care within institutions, and advocate for public awareness and systemic reform to protect vulnerable seniors. It emphasizes the personal and financial toll this system takes on families, urging for a more compassionate and less restrictive approach to elder care.
