Pat Russell , 100 , was sent to Vernon Jubilee Hospital after falling in her nursing home.

Her daughter Carole Fawcett got a call from a nurse around 9 p.m. that evening, telling her they were discharging Russell .

Russell was left waiting outside with the driver with no key to get inside the nursing home. “Here's a 100-year-old who's very wobbly being sent home by herself, with no checking with the family. I think it’s a safety issue, it's disrespectful to seniors,” said Russell .
