Default Please Help ID My Neighbour's Orchid

My neighbor's son purchased this orchid at a store in Toronto and gave it to her as a gift. Unfortunately, they were watering the orchid several times a day, every day. My neighbor has asked me to try and save it - when she gave it to me it was in very wet soil, I got the plant dry and changed the medium but I don't know what type of orchid it is and therefore, am unsure what type of care it requires. Please help!

Dene from what I can see it looks like a Paphliopedlium. Once it blooms we possibly can get a better ID.

If you need some cultural information AOS | Paphiopedilum

The leaves and plant size suggest that it is a multifloral paph. If it is, then it needs higher light and warmer temp than other paphs to do well.
