SUMMERLAND -- A South Okanagan seniors' care home where employees are alleged to have force-fed residents and snapped photos of naked residents continues to make news for all the wrong reasons.

"There is an investigation currently going on which has not yet concluded," said B.C. Ministry of Health spokeswoman Sarah Plank.
