Care workers caught by hidden camera abusing elderly woman with dementia
Is this what your senile mother or father has to look forward in our mostly FOR PROFIT health care system ? I worked at Bannister House Nursing Home in Providence ,Rhode Island ( circa 1978-1982 ) . Most of the staff had the gift of " caring " for the aged. But there must also be understanding for a stressed out , overworked , underpaid nursing staff. I learned from my four year experience as a CNA, then moved on.
All nursing homes with extremely vulnerable elderly patients must be expertly supervised. And attention must be paid to the morale of staff . Try a six hour day and four shifts ?
