‘Tooth and nail’ fight now over for P.E.I. community care facility

CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. – A woman who recently lost her licence to operate a community care facility has put the Charlottetown building that housed a dozen or so residents up for sale.

FILE PHOTO: Elm Crest Lodge, a 14-bed community care facility, is up for sale. The owner, Janice Clow, had told The Guardian more than one month ago that she would fight “tooth and nail’’ to regain her licence.

Janice Clow had told The Guardian more than one month ago that she would fight “tooth and nail’’ to regain her licence.

Clow appears to have had a change of heart, but is not shedding any light on her decision to sell her building.

Calls to Clow have not been returned.

Her licence to operate the facility expired on Oct. 30.

She is eligible to apply for a new licence.

All residents were relocated to different facilities to meet their health-care needs, Kevin Barnes, director of health policies and programs with the Department of Health and Wellness, told The Guardian in an interview at the time.

In a written decision of Oct. 25 against the 14-bed Elm Crest Lodge, the Community Care Facilities and Nursing Homes Board said it had extensive involvement with the facility and the operator for close to two years.

The board concluded that Elm Crest, which Clow had operated for the past 14 years, “is not and will not operate in accordance with the prescribed standards of the Act, Regulations and care standards.’’

Now Clow is looking to sell the historic two-story home, located at 267 Richmond Street that was built in 1896 and is zoned R3.

Realtor Jamie Pound says all those that have inquired about the house to date were interested in turning the building back into a home and not operating a resident care facility.

The asking price is $289,000 for the building. There are eight bedrooms and three baths as well as a large living room, kitchen and dining room.

The property also features a sprinkler system, fire escapes, alarm systems, and video surveillance.

Approximate cost to heat the home is $4,000 per year.
