I saw this story on our local news which took place in Philadelphia at an upscale assisted living facility. Care works were taunting a 78 year old elderly patient that was suffering from dementia. The workers were caught on a hidden camera placed in the room by the family who suspected abuse pulling on the patient’s ear and striking them in the face and head.
This story is disgraceful and down right wrong. Why do people think they have the right to do this to someone’s family member? This person is a human being dementia or not. These people are paid to take care of elderly people and to find out they are abusing them is painful. These people should hide their head in shame and be put away in prison for life. People confide in these workers to take care of their loved ones and I can only imagine how the victim and family must feel.
