The abusers dont deserve to have their face blurred

This. THIS is why I dropped out of college to be a full-time carer for my elderly grandma when she got sick

It should be MANDATORY to have cameras in residents rooms

I retired for health reasons from my job in an Emergency Dept of 25yrs and now I'm working harder than i ever did in my life caring for my parents. My dad is 89 and my mom is 92 I do absolutely everything for them, all the shopping, meals, laundry, cleaning, make appointments, take them to their appointments. My mom has dementia so baths, dressing, makeup, haircuts. I will continue to do this for as long as I can. I pray for the strength to continue to do so.

I think people forget that the elderly needs our help and compassion. They are a generation that cared for us and soon it will be our turn to take their place.

My parents are coming with me to my house when they’re too old. NO exceptions

In the US my mother went to a "rehabilitation home" after a major stroke. The day she arrived, they were trying to make her get up. ( mind you after this her neurologist found she wouldn't ever be able to walk, she's in a wheel chair and can't even balance herself sitting up). My mother still was trying to talk as clearly as she could, & was telling staff, "I can't, I can't" the staff told her she was being lazy & made her sit in a wheelchair at their desk for over 24 hours. All she could do was cry & ask to go to bed & was told to stop being a baby & when she did what she was told then they would bring her to bed. My brother went to check on her & seen her at the desk in that chair crying. It took her time, but she managed to tell him something & begged for help. We were so heart broken. My brother called our father & asked what he should do. My father told him to get her tf out of there. They tried to tell my brother he couldn't take her. He wheeled her out to the car, picked her up, strapped her in, reclined the seat a little & drove her out. She was already being abused the 1st day. Some of these ppl are sick.

Yes, it's always been a crisis. My grandmother worked as a nurse in elderly facilities from the 1940's to the 1960's. She told stories of the most abusive nightmares you can imagine that she witnessed working as a nurse. And she always made it clear that she didn't ever want to be put in a nursing home. She feared that more than anything.

The “caregiver” punching the elderly man should’ve been arrested. Not just fired, but arrested!

When I graduated from nursing school my first job was at a nursing home and I quit after two weeks . I urge people to NEVER put your loved ones in LTC facilities. A lot of nurses, aids and doctors don’t care and facilities are so short staffed . I’ve witnessed so much neglect it’s ridiculous!

I was very suicidal as a child and staying in an in-patient hospital that had kids aged 10-16. A lot of people there were very mean to us, completely ignoring the fact that we were all mentally unstable CHILDREN. With that said I cant imagine what happens to these ELDERLY people. ugh, watching this made me sick!

I worked in nursing homes for years and saw all sorts of residents treated poorly and that was in the 80s+90s... so sad that a person could treat a helpless elder this way...breaks my heart

40 residents to one 1 nurse! Unsafe staffing!

As a 40 year old without children this terrifies me every day. That this is my future. Especially since Alzheimers runs in my family. Y'all have no idea the fear.

It's very sad to know that seniors are living like this. I have seen my 98 years old mother treated badly by caregiver. She didn't want to complain because of fear. I am so sorry that we have to send our loved ones to care homes.

I looked after my elderly mother who had dementia. Were it not for me, she would've been sent to a nursing home. She was in her own home till the day she died. I'd happily do it all over again. After all the sacrifices she made for us, it was the least I could do.

This is why " I will NEVER put my Parents or any family member in a Nursing home"! They do NOT treat them very well at all. These poor Old ppl do NOT deserve 2b treated this way!!

They need to install cameras in all the bedrooms, with family permission of course.

I'm getting my mom out immediately!! I'll just take care of her myself!!!

My grandmother was placed in a care facility and she died less than 6 months later. 😢

Not just underpaid, but under trained, not properly vetted, not enough staff... basically greedy abuse of the ones that manage these places

Why are places ever notified beforehand that they're getting an inspection? They should have NO time to prepare! All inspections should be a surprise!

As a former CNA the facilities that I worked at we were understaffed 10 months out of the year. The month we were adequately staffed was the month the state surveyor was due to walk through.

As a nurse I've had several residents that were placed in the nursing home by Adult Protective Services because their family had abused and neglected them

I worked in nursing home and bath time was the thing residents hated the most. I saw how they were rushed in the shower chair. Left exposed to cold with wet skin. Just a humiliating experience. I saw what was happening and I took a different approach. Of course I was met with resistance about shower time. What I did is put myself in their position and how I would like to be treated. I gathered more towels than normal. Id start on their head, neck back , chest...wash rinse then I would drape them with a warm large towel to privacy and to keep them warm. Then continue to the lower part of the body. Then did the same when putting on lotion or whatever. Each time I bathed a resident they were happy and said your can bathe me anytime. I was glad I could turn bath time in a good relaxing experience for them.

oh noooo... dont u get it. we allllll will be old soon. lets treat elders with respect. please

My mother took care of her grandmother (my great-grandmother) at home for this very reason. She hired a caretaker to come to the house and look after her while she was at work and then when she came home she'd take over. I was around 6~8 years old during this time. I helped sometimes too, by helping my great-grandma get dressed or putting her favorite tv show on. She was well taken care of until she passed away. I will do the same for my mother when she gets up in age.

This is why cameras are needed I'm all nursing home rooms. I quit my job to take care of my mom. Incidents like this video is really sad.

So many lies, when I was 19 years old I worked in a nursing home and they gave me 15 clients that I had to get ready, feed, get up, change, do everything. there wasn't enough time and I had too many people, so I never used to take breaks. I used to see some of the other aides who did absolutely nothing for the clients, never washed them up, never got them up, never changed them until it was end of shift, it was horrible. I used to complain and finally that's why I quit I just couldn't stand seeing this.

As a nurse with 20 years in long term care this makes me sick. The elderly deserve to cared for and protected.

When I see this film, it has been 5 years since it was posted on KZfaq. Wondering how it is at these long-term care facilities today.

It literally breaks my heart to see how anyone can treat another person in that way they have shown here. I really really don’t understand.

This breaks my heart I love taking care of elderly people it’s more than a job too me ! I will always show love & respect ❤️

Ppl disgust me and more so of those who prey on the weak and helpless. These seniors deserve justice!!!!!

This video really designates to what is going on at regency park senior home in Dalton Georgia

This is a problem in the U.S. as well. I had trouble giving all I wanted to for 8 residents. The need is great. We should not have to work hard and with all our hearts to go home feeling guilty AND exhausted !

THIS is EXACTLY why I quit nursing... It's just too much... 37 residents to 3 CNAs- that's unacceptable for the residents AND the staff... Sickening how anyone can harm a helpless little old person... Even when they're demented and aggressive, you NEVER retaliate.... I'll NEVER put my parents in one of those horror houses...

Please keep your elders home with you. It would be cheaper to hire a private nurse that to stick your beloved’s in a home without knowledge of what happens to them.

Im a nursing home caregiver, a cna, yes I’ve def lost my cool in my head, but I don’t hit or yell or cuss, I tell my partner I’m taking a second to step outside and take a breath to collect myself before I renter and are ready to try again, never ever would I think of doing awful things to my people 😢😭

Short staffing in the USA also. 16, to 30 patients pet CNA depending where you work per certified Nursing assistant.

that poor man who died of fractured hips made me cry ..soo sad

"They were fired", that's it? They should have been incarcerated!!!

I used to have up to 23 patients per shift at a nursing home. It was my first CNA job so I assumed it was normal. Then I would be double shifts (3pm-7am) and my manager would text me if I could stay for 8 more hours (7am-3pm).. even though I had work again that same day… then I knew it was not normal

Wow! This makes you want to 😢 cry.

I will never let my parents go to a nursing home

The first one you see is two elderly individuals. This happens a lot unfortunately. Having worked in a nursing home. People with dementia will think that someone is in their house and attack them. Sometimes it's us, and sometimes it's other residents.

That's so heartbreaking!

This happens in the US too. Long-term facilities, nursing homes, they all are short-staffed, any hour of the day or night. Many have covered it up by paying off officials, hushing clients or employees. I worked for several years as a CNA in these places, and it broke my heart.

My friend did laundry for a small nursing home in our old neighborhood, I went with her to help many times. One time I grabbed a few grapes from my lunch, a beautiful woman (25-30) in a wheelchair asked me for some, I gave them to her; she was so grateful, said she'd had no fresh fruits or veg's. in 2 years! I gave her my whole bag when I left, then asked what her faves were; she said those sweet red grapes, just like I'd given her, but any berries. My fave food is berries too I told her. When we brought back clean laundry & picked up more next week, I brought her a huge bag of red grapes, as well as bananas, red & green apples (& in-betweens), pears, cherries & a canister of mixed nuts; the look on her face was such a Blessing, & when she sobbed I couldn't help but break down & cry with her. I brought her 'goodies' 1-2 times a month for a couple of years, until they closed the place down; she went to a place far away, but I'll never forget her!! Oh she was such a sweet girl, SHE SHARED ALL I GAVE HER WITH OTHER PATIENTS THERE! The place wasn't bad, they were treated very well, but it just costs so much for some of these little (about 12 patients) homes to make it, when Social Security is so little for the demands!! I don't have much (disabled & living with my daughter & her family now); but with 3 terminal illnesses, I'm VERY GRATEFUL to have a family that loves & WANTS to care for me to the end!!!! Her name is Lisa, & I miss her.

Low wages is no excuse for abuse, we have choices.

This is why I take care of my sister. no one deserves to go through this ,this is very disturbing to see my heart pours out to everyone going through this 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Such cruelty!!! Please God help all who are unable to care for themselves. Please cause help to come to these precious people.

I was a nurse working in Florida. This is what nursing is like. The hospital actually sends nurses home on the basis of how many patients they have on the floor. However we get admissions coming in 24 hours a day. We the nurses are running to just finish giving medication and getting documentation done. You complain and they tell you the problem is you. I have told the patients to complain about the lack of help in hopes that something will change. I saw them drug up a patient so much he could not eat on his own. So they implanted a feeding tube. I even documented that if I hold off on psychiatric medication patient was able to eat himself and appropriately swallow his food. Other nurses did not want to to deal with him. They medicated him and the tube was placed. This patient was not underweight. He had been eating fine until they started medicating him. The family did not understand the circumstances. The doctor could only go by what the other nurses documented. No one seemed to care but me. Not much more I could do. They did not assign me to the patient after I said something. Again so busy on the floor and so much more to worry about. The medical field is ruled by money not care. It is really sick.

THESE NURSING HOMES JUST DO NOT HIRE ENOUGH STAFF TO CARE FOR THESE PEOPLE PROPERLY. IT IS ALL ABOUT PROFIT.

I’m a caregiver and I’m devastated by this I go to my job and do my best for them to be comfortable and have a good living, I have been hit by a couple of them that have dementia but they can’t understand what’s happening around them.

My mom works in one of those homes and she has told me to never put her in a home, just seeing this I understand why she doesn't want me to put her there.

I'm so sorry for all the elderly in such places.Lord Jesus please protect the innocent and those in need, the babies, the children and the precious elderly. In Jesus Name, Amen.

The thing about these “investigations” is that they conveniently ignore the role of corporate greed and poor management. Most of these PSW’s are extremely overworked, underpaid, over-stressed, and short staffed. I worked as a PSW in a nursing home for a year before running away. We had 15-20 patients on any given day and NEVER had time to perform the care we were meant to provide. It was not only terrible for the patients, but also for the workers. Corporate greed is why these incidents are on the rise. They treat their employees like garbage and treat the residents like numbers. Go after the management and go after the corporations that create these environments as well as holding employees accountable. This faux “hero” shock video does absolutely nothing but scape goat the problem on the staff whom have zero control over the atmosphere they work in.

I’m currently working with 25 residents and only 2 people on the floor for 8 hours. We are completely helpless- we don’t have enough people to be the best we can be.

This absolutely terrifies me. No way am I letting my parents care be left to anyone but me and in my home.

The answer is simple. Hire more staff . Pay the staff proper wages. Stop slave labour . Problem solved

I worked in a nursing home a long time ago. A lot of the residents are nice while the rest are mean. The ones who are mean to me or try to hit me I hold my hands up and I speak slowly and say " I have to clean you up. We must make you beautiful/handsome. I know you may be on pain and I'm sorry for that. I'll try to be gentle but please dont hit me. How about I sing to you? Would that help? What is your favorite song? Can you sing it to me I would so love to hear it." Or " it's time to eat/take your meds. I know you dont like it but I want you to be strong and healthy. How about we eat outside in the sunshine? I will see if that's allowed. How about I read to you? What's your favorite book? I know your having a bad day. How can we change that? Sometimes they dont talk back, but that doesn't stop me from talking. Even if I couldn't remember their names I still called them beautiful and handsome. It made them smile. I was the youngest worker there but a lot of the veteran workers picked up my method and gave it a try. Residents and staff were happy. I was sad when a fire took that place out but happy that no lives were lost. If you hate the job then quit.

Sadly there's never enough staff to avoid this 😣

I was a nurse and a couple of nursing homes. The best thing a family can do for their loved one is to have drop-in visits and don't notify them ahead of time. No one assume your loved one is getting the care they should be getting. Most nursing homes are understaffed and all you hear about is budget budgets. It made me so sick. I eventually went to work as a hospice nurse and that was easier than seeing what happens in the nursing home

I'm proud of being Filipino because we take good care of our parents especially when they are old. We have to remember that it's time for us to payback their sacrifices

Look after parents the way they looked after you. Simple as that.

You know I use to work in a nursing home I was the head certified nurses aide and I often went without breaks so my patient's could have the health care they needed. Plus I made sure the other aides took their breaks on time when I see aggression from a patient then I talked to them calmly and was able to do for them that the other aides couldn't do.

Oh my God this is horrid! I work in a nursing home. And thank God it is one of the best nursing homes I have ever seen. The owners of that home should be forced to sell and a class action suit be filed! Along with the prosecution of any employee abusing the people whom trusted they would be cared for!

My father is a 73 year old man, veteran from his years of service in the navy, he worked with the radars on his ships. He is now a victum of strokes that paralysed him on the left side of his body, and it messed up his memory also. His insurance will pay for him to stay in a nursing home facility, but I said NO WAY!!! He is at home with me and i take care of him! I will take care of him untill the day our Lord calls him to go home. There is no way I would ever allow him to be a victum in a nursing home. I trust none of them! My mother is 65 and i will do the same for her when and if the time comes. Its hard, its sad, its exhausting at times.... But I know they have felt the same way at times when raising myself and my sisters!!! I am so happy to be able to take care of them and im blessed to have them. Im 36 years old and i am able to live in THIER HOME, so thier still at thier home and didnt have to leave thier home.... I feel lucky and blessed that finacially between the 4 of us, they are taken care of, and they never HAVE to go somewhere, like a nursing home. When i say my prayers i thank God that they are able to stay at thier home and they go home to God from Thier home. I feel sorry for the familys that are in situations where thier loved ones have to go to a nursing home for some reason. I feel blessed that i will never have to worry about what could possibly happen. My parents raised me, was there when i needed them, and im blessed to be able to take care of my parents, and be here when they need me. These places are horrible!!! They need more and better people working in them, and doctors that wont just make them all f'ed up on phych meds like thier zombies! Then allow them to be abused. Nursing homes need more, and better rules and laws. Then they need to follow up and inforce those laws! Untill there is MAJOR change, I feel sorry for anyone who has to go there for whatever reason.

They should have a undercover elderly person and put a camera on them to see what really goes on

I used to watch marketplace a lot but my cable box is screwed up so now I have to find it on KZfaq

I have zero tolerance for elder mistreatment. I don't anger or annoy easily (which is why I work so well with confused and/or combative patients), but if I catch a coworker mistreating one of my little ladies or elderly gentlemen, hell hath no fury like mine. I have, and will continue to confront and report any coworker who harms or neglects my residents.

This has been a problem for a LONG LONG TIME. This is normal for care facilities. I worked as a CNA for 7 years in the early 90’s and saw TONS of neglect. All I can say is if you have a loved one in a nursing home or a similar facility, BE THERE for them. The people with the strongest family presence had the best care. The staff feared losing their medical or care license and or being fired. If the staff knew that family would show up on a regular basis, that patient was treated A LOT BETTER. And a good way to determine the quality of care there is THE SMELL. So many of the places I worked smelled like urine SO BAD. Also, walk the facility, look around. Observe the staff. Show up unexpectedly, look up the reviews. But the biggest thing is the smell. The smell will give it away every time.

If they don't like the job why don't they just quit instead of hurting old people then they lie about it

Why are these perpetrators' faces being blurred?? These people need to be held accountable, whether charged or not.

This warms my heart

My father at age 94 was bashed by another resident in a home. He was terribly battered and bruised. It broke my heart, as a young man he was as strong as an ox. Sadly we lost him at age 97.

Makes you wonder why we're all so determined to live longer.

This is sickening and disgusting 🤢 I feel so bad for the elderly 😢

Oh my God this is HEART BREAKING.

I grew up in a family where you house and take care of the elderly. Be there for them, till the end. As they were there for you.

These places charge each resident over $2000 a month and can't even have more than one person watching them?

I only pray that God takes me out of this world peacefully in my sleep before I have to end up in a nursing home

I'm so sorry that this happens to anyone but trust that most of us love and respect our residents dearly❤

It is honestly a SHAME how these so called care givers treat the elderly!!!! If ANYONE treated my mother like that, I'd be in jail!! I don't have that to worry about because my brothers and my sister make sure that our mother is taken care of and she will NEVER go into a nursing home! She raised us and took very good care of us, so we will do the same for her. As long as I have a home, she does too. Simply heart breaking and brought tears to my eyes to see the abuse here!!!

As a caregiver, I loved my residents. They were like my family. I also did homehealth and a loved taking care of my client. Why would people get into work like that if they don't treat the elderly with respect and compassion!

My poor mom that I solely took care of and had siblings that over rode me to put her in a nursing home. They gave my poor mother so much medication she looked like a zombie. I got guardianship and made sure they cut her medications in half. They don’t have time for one on one care and it’s extremely hard to care for them but don’t sedate them where they can’t even function. That’s inhumane

Heartbreaking 💔

CAMERA'S SHOULD BE IN EVERY ROOM ONLY VIEWED BY RELATIVES OF THE RESIDENT.

i was a cna for many years at a few places and the only time they had extra staff on was at state inspection time.

I have experienced most of these circumstances in both nursing homes and the local hospital myself. I have MS so I usually have at least one ED/home per year. No one has my back. It's absolutely vile.

I feel so sorry for the patients and family heartbreaking 💔 😢

They are understaff because nobody would want to work for this places, low salary for too much work with high risk of injuries.

Another big reason for rising resident on resident violence is that we now have mental health patients over 65 being put into long term care. Psws are not trained in mental health. It is being done because long term care is cheaper. This is so wrong on many levels. What did they think would happen when you put mental health patients with patients with dementia?

When that woman said "every single day" referencing there are not enough workers to spend adequate time with the patients...that's not a new thing. I'm 74 and at 19 worked in a care facility with the same problems.

I completely agree as I have been a DCW and I have seen this problem personally. Not enough staff!

what? they got fired , what the heck is that they should go the jail , when someone abuse achild we all shout out but with elders those workers just got fired seriously this is so sad

I am a retired soldier, US Army, and volunteer at my local VA Hospital. I help out with our Hospice every weekend. I'm also in a program called No Veteran Dies Alone. When a veteran gets close to the end of life, we try to have a volunteer with the veteran. I also help with our paralyzed veterans. I live by our Seven Core Army Values, even as a retired soldier.

That last guy that they're interviewing also just ticks me off because of how they say we will allow more hours but not more pay. That's the biggest problem is the fact that people do not get paid what we are worth to take care of these individuals.

16:24 This is the reaction I have to these kinds of things, too.. where even just the thought of it, is too upsetting.. and you reach that point where you witness someone- who puts on such a lovely front- acting in their true nature of inhumanity, and you realize how much harder life just got, now that you realize that people can't be trusted, no matter how pretty of a picture they present. This reminds me: I watched Rugratz a lot as a kid. There was an episode where Grandpa decides he's gonna go live in the wonderful retirement community, with amenities like a lake to go fishing in, gourmet food, and everyone is happy. It was all a front, a sales pitch. There were a lot of good lessons in that show. That episode is called *"Grandpa Moves Out"*
