'Appalling Abuse' of Elderly in Care


Tens of thousands of elderly people are suffering appalling abuse in homes
for the aged, according to the first ever audit of calls to the Commission for
Social Care Inspection, England's
social care watchdog. In just six months, more than 1,000 calls were made by
people who suspected their relations or friends were being abused by care
workers, including being tied to their beds, locked up and dragged around by
their hair. (Sunday Telegraph)

It is really sad and so wrong!!! I don't want to ever have to go through that again with another loved one. My Dad was in one for about 2 or 3 weeks and then back to the hospital where he passed away.

This is really happening! It is a disgrace. My friend's family was suing the nursing home their grandmother was in because of poor care. The home is no longer in business, but there are so many out there.

My mother in law was treated well because we were always going over there. Other children of elderly parents said that the higher visibility you keep, the more they seem to care about the people who live in these places. I felt for those who didn't have anyone to come to visit or check on them.
