How trustworthy are care facilities? While care professionals tend to be
outstanding, self-sacrificing, hard-working and compassionate, even one
careless moment can quickly snowball into elder abuse.
Watch this true story.
First published on YouTube August 23, 2012 - This
is the video that is causing shock and outrage. An elderly woman
struggles to stand, her caregiver not attending to her needs. She falls
hard to the ground - an incident that isn't supposed to happen in a
"good" nursing home.
Though this occurred in the USA, it happens here in the UK and is only publicised when people speak up (or Panorama are videoing). This is the kind of abuse that The Edith Ellen Foundation is trying to eradicate in the UK, through the promotion of Kindness and Compassion in Care and by delivering comprehensive Training.
