#NBCNews #ElderAbuse #Livestream
As a CNA with years of experience working with dementia and alzheimers patients, this infuriates me. These elderly folks are going through enough pain and cruelty from losing their memories, their self-respect, and their personalities. It's hard enough on them. They become very scared and confused often. It takes a lot of passion and patience to properly give them the care they need. I've never understood people like this. Why become a nurse/assistant if you have no compassion...
It's called greed. They want the job thinking that they will not be held responsible for the patients. They think it's an easy pay check. I wonder how many other folks have been suffering at the hands of these porkers. They're animals. Treat them as such. Give them a long long long taste of their own medicine. Bye bye losers
Exactly!! Disgusting behavior
Money payech
Right? Their literal title is “caregiver” . It’s truly their job to care 🤬
BECAUSE THESE DEMONS JUST TAKE THE JOB FOR THE MONEY, THEY CLEARLY DONT GIVE AF!!! They hire these NON EMPATHETIC PEOPLE & keep people who are loving & caring out of these nursing homes, clinics, hospitals, ever since COVID they have replaced these Demons into the healthcare industry…..
This is why I do my best to keep my parents out of a nursing home. I'm going to make sure they are with me until they leave this earth. This probably goes on more often then what is reported. This is just awful. What kind of vile person does this?
Same here. Never ever ever leave your loved one in one of these shi* holes. Did I say never ever?
No, this is not a normal situation. You did notice the ages. Their generation was raised to be narcissistic and care only for themselves and try to make them self famous on the internet.
@@charlottewhite1277 About 15 years ago, I had to have emergency back surgery, and was going to need a nursing home stay afterwards. While I was in the hospital, I got a list of local nursing homes that would be covered by my insurance, picked 4 possibilities, and 3 of my older siblings visited them and rated them. Any nursing home should welcome family members to do an in-depth visit, and be willing to answer all of their questions. They dismissed one home on the smell alone, and 1 place that was very dreary and depressing. They gave the other 2 places good reviews, so I went with their top choice, and had an excellent experience there. That place had no rooms available the next time I needed one, so I had to go to a different home that I didn't like.
Since then I've stayed at the 1stt NH 5 or 6 more times, post surgery or after being hospitalized for a serious injury. I've never seen anyone being mistreated. Most of the staff work really hard, and try their best to take good care of the patients. Not all nursing homes are horrible places. Taking care of a family member who has dementia is really difficult, and places an incredible amount of stress on the caregiver(s). When my father got to that point, I was already disabled, so they're was no way I could care for him.. Although my siblings were all retired, they all knew that having him move in would be disastrous as far as their own mental health, and got their marriages. We picked out a high quality facility for him, and we visited often, popping in at unexpected times. That was the best decision for everyone involved.
It happens everywhere, unfortunately. My son investigated the same thing. The poor patient had fallen. This POS was live streaming, laughing and telling the poor patient she wouldn't help because he was too heavy and laugh. They weren't able to charge this person, and that really infuriated me.
I don't know you but I admire you for your decision. I am the last of 5 children. Everyone got to live their lives ... I alone took care of my mother until her last breath - to the day she departed this earthly life. Trust me, you will not regret your decision.
This is why I wouldn't put my 95 yr old Mom in a nursing home. I'm going to take care of her until God calls her home. I understand not everyone can do it. It's really hard.
Bless you❤️
@Lemons Limes wow how rude. I really don't think this post was bad at all
It’s hard but you got this! I pray for you to have strength 🙏🏽
Good job 👍🏿
I'm going to do the same thing. I've got a little while, so I'm saving and planning. My mom has been there for me my entire life. The least I can do is be there for the end of hers. I just refuse to put her in a home because she deserves to be with her family. Plus, if I ever found out my mom was being mistreated or abused I would probably end up going to prison!
I’ve worked in EMS and in hospitals for almost a decade. This kind of disgusting behavior goes on WAAAYYY more often than you’d think. If you have a loved one in a care facility, I’d almost guarantee that something similar has happened to them, or someone they know. HOLD CARE WORKERS ACCOUNTABLE.
They should face the full force of the law really disgusting
That would be a hate crime. But that won’t happen.
They did, and that’s why they’re out in bond.
Makes you wonder… how much is “bond” and where is the money coming from?
😢
Yes
The law? 😅 Nah, I have something else in mind.
It is disgusting, I hope they get some jail time! Prayers for the victims I think they are more! 😢
You know there are more victims. This diffently was not a one-time incident. I'm sure they have done this to multiple patients multiple times.
@@LKCLifer Absolutely. They were so brazen that they didn't see a problem with live streaming it, so I'd guess I it's typical behavior for them.
@Luminary Harris Tell me that you're a racist, without saying "I'm a racist." Whenever someone says "those tybe of people", you know they're about to start putting their bigotry on full display. Referring to people as "feral" and referring to "house broke" and saying they aren't "domesticated" is a way of dehumanizing them. That's an early step in every genocide - get the prevailing group to look at the minority group as less than human.
Yes, on average Black families in the US are hundreds of years behind white families in generational wealth, because for 400 years their labor was stolen. Yes, because of the way that we fund our public schools ensures that people in poorer areas are going to have underfunded schools, which typically have a hard time recruiting and retaining good teachers. However, what we're looking like at here is the behavior of just 2 very young women, and you are making a conscious choice to pretend that reflects on their entire race. Being behind on generational wealth, doesn't mean an entire race of people lacks civility, or any other positive attributes, or are in any way inferior to you or I.
Btw, I grew up on a dry land farm in a very rural low income area. I certainly can't say that I went to the "best schools". I applied to Yale, just to have bragging rights, (yes, I was accepted) but since I wouldn't have dreamed of asking my parents to take out loans to help fund that, I worked full time to put myself through a state college. I didn't get any inheritance, just a legacy of hard work being a decent person, and treating everyone with dignity. I'd choose my inheritance over yours any day.
The younger generation has gone to chit!
If you put family in there make sure it’s close enough to your home so you can regularly visit like just about every day if not most of the time.
Kudos to the employee that told on these women!
As someone who takes emergency calls from residents at "assisted" living facilities, I can tell you that abuse and neglect in these places is not rare at all. They could start by paying the workers. But then, oversight and accountability would be great. And if you have someone in one of these places, get Lifeline. Even if the facility has their own. If we suspect abuse or neglect, we will let you know, and we WILL make sure they get help.
The care home should be investigated how could something like that be going on without being noticed by the management. Never send anyone you care about there
They were in a shower house. The only people in the shower house are the ones showering and the ones assisting with the shower. Management has nothing to do with patients' care. Management is up front in their offices, making money. I'm guessing you don't have a loved one in a nursing home. It's sad that the baby boomers started this trend of sending loved ones off and washing their hands of having to care.
SKIP ADMINISTRATION, GO TO POLICE. ADMIN IS PART OF THE CYA PROBLEM
The management is who told the police about it.
I’m trying to understand how 2 barely legal girls were hired to begin with. They can’t even buy a drink but qualified to do This job? Somethings fishy.
How do these people get a job ? I wouldn’t employ as it’s obvious there untrustworthy
My 39 year old son was in a long-term care facility for a little over three years. He is bedbound currently, because of contractures he suffered, because he stayed in bed so much in the facility. He was rarely moved, rarely bathed, and the verbal abuse was a very common place. He was afraid to tell me because he did not want retaliation from the workers. I finally got him out of there. This was one of the nicest places in town and you wouldn’t expect some place like this to have people working that would be so mean but they were. I’ll never send him to a long-term care facility ever again.
the nicest places in town - still hire whatever minimum wage workers will take the jobs..
People that change bedpans and clean genitals all day are people that could not find work elsewhere. Why else would there be such abuse. Its a job no one really wants……….
Whats the name of thst awful place.............?.
@@jeanniesherman3591 Wouldn't matter to you, now would it? You just want to pretend it doesn't happen. Happened to my grandmother. And guess what, it was never an abusive white nurse, put it that way. Always the black chicks that stole and abused.
I used to be a CNA. It was impossible to do everything we were supposed to do and I couldn't stay in a job like that in good faith
What cruelty and what horrible people. 😢
Thank you to the employee who reported them. May God bless you tremendously!
Imagine the cases that are not recorded and reported
As a nurse who has worked 17 years with the elderly and with patients who have memory loss and or dementia, this is NOT a representation of nurses and certified nurses' assistance. These two women should have never been in the business of caring because if you don't have a compassionate heart, then this is what could happen. My condolences to the family members of this woman. She should always be shown respect, compassion, love, and dignity. This just breaks my heart that people can be so cruel. Especially to someone who can't fight back or ask for help.
Very true! I have provided care (I am a therapist) to so many nurses in my 11 year career, and they are so often wonderful, lovely, and interesting people who genuinely do their jobs for the simple reason to provide help to others. This is not an accurate representation of nurses/CNAs/healthcare workers at all.
Yes it is 😂
The fact that you are allowed to be a care worker like that at 18 says it all. If you have no one to watchdog for you, the only choice is to never end up in any vulnerable care situation.
💯
@L K C. Lifer. My aunt found my grandfather lying in his own feces in a nursing home. According to my experience you are quite mistaken. You might have been a good care giver, but to think this in unusual makes me wonder what is your agenda.
What is also disgusting, is that companies hire these types of individuals!
Well there's a huge shortage of nurses and CNA's. Not many people want to change adult diapers for a living. They will literally hire anyone with a pulse..
Hi. Then they should be responsible for the damaged inflicted upon volunerable illed human cells.
Lovelyme Lo from Memphis
Thank you for the person who reported these ladies , I’m a healthcare worker and a granddaughter and this is disgusting!!!!
I hope the person that reported them got a bonus.
It was their cousin. But of course, everyone's their cousin.
Just wait, everybody gets old! Karma is coming for them eventually!
Grow up
Hopefully these devils don’t make it. Just sickening
Ahaha, well perhaps the old woman was getting her karma. Who knows how she conducted herself in her stronger years.
I hope so. Maybe someone will do that to they mama 😂
That's when it will set in
Man I worked in a place like this and this is not rare it happens more often than you would think. Its always a odor even in the high priced one. I don't really know how these places work but if you are old and wealthy please make sure you make power of attorney to a son or daughter who really cares about you because the spoiled daughter/son will put you in these places and forget about you but they will enjoy your properties and money.
It's WAY more common than people realize. I worked in several mental health facilities and those places are full of staff people who are cruel and enjoy having a ready supply of vulnerable people to be their victims. Staff members who were decent people and horrified by what they see are afraid to report it because in institutions the majority of staff and management circle their wagons and protect each other. Staff who report abuse, be it outright physical abuse or the extremely common passive aggressive type abuse and neglect, are considered trouble makers and are predictably fired for some trumped up allegations. That's what happened to me when I reported physical abuse of a six year old boy in a psychiatric facility that I witnessed with my own eyes (namely a staff member picking up the child by his forearm and throwing the poor thing against the wall). For weeks I was shunned by most of the staff, forced to switch jobs and work where they knew I'd be miserable. Then they let go because I and the facility were "not a good match".
I spent 23 years in geriatric hospice and memory care (dementia). The victim was in absolute terror. I want very much for these creatures to suffer great fear and pain in their life. No Fs given for those animals.
이 크리쳐들 ㅋㅋㅋ 흑인들 동물행 ㅋㅋ
@@user-re4wr9dr6t She didn't mention anything about their colour. She was describing them as creatures, due to their vile actions and behaviour. Bad enough to do it to and old lady, but to livestream it to their friends. Vile creatures describes them well.
@@emeraldgirl7374 BIks aren't human
@@user-re4wr9dr6t Exactly. The average sub saharan lQ is in the 60's. Koko the GoriIIa had an lQ in the 80's. Let that sink in.
@Kris The source for subsaharan lQ comes from an article in Science Direct where they average the lQ's of every subsaharan countries together and 68 is the average. Many countries are actually even lower though. For instance the average lQ in Equatorial Guinea is only in the 50's. I believe Koko's score came from an lQ test given to her by her trainer, but I'm not sure. I guess if you're incapable of finding the information then come back tell me and I'll go find it for you. Okay?
I feel for the elderly who don't have any family or friends to look after them or make sure they are being treated well.
there should be cameras in every room..just like in some schools the parents can get live footage...you should be able to watch if your loved one is in there
Those 2 girls are huge POS & I think they also need to be charged w/a hate crime as well.
I agree with you 100%
Felicia is gonna Felicia
Hate crime?
Amen.
What evidence is there that this is a hate crime?
This could happen right in the home, not just a facility. My mother has been under the care of CNA’s and LPNs in our home, since 2018! We have encountered some of the most cruel and unprofessional staff. She’s now non verbal and relies on an eye gaze machine to communicate. Even with family around, folks are disrespectful to her! I feel so sorry for this woman! I am glad those dummies exposed themselves.
This is heartbreaking & sick.. literally feel like crying right now. Where is your humanity? Some ppl just have no respect for human life. Wish I could rescue all ppl experiencing abuse
OMG how could anybody be so cruel
They were born that way
Does this really need an answer?
They hate White people. You'll never see them do it to their own.
Look who's doing the abuse. SAY NO MORE
She did nothing wrong except record
Nasty; cruel and stupid, hope they get punished accordingly.
Why are they hiring employees that young?? There's NO WAY they'd have the experience, patience, empathy and integrity it takes to properly care for seniors (especially with illnesses). Family needs to sue the establishment and the employees.
The pay is low, and that's all that they can get.
They should be working in the slaughterhouse!
Yes, please post your crimes so people will know not to hire you
This is why we taker care of our parents at home.
That’s simply evil. How could you do that to someone???
I worked as a CNA for two years specifically in a wing with dementia residence and it amplified my patience and compassion. This is why families don't trust elderly care facilities. These ladies should be charged and the facility sued.
why is this so common with careworkers? why even get into that line of work?? makes no sense to me.
Bcz they're underpaid and it's a high turnover so they literally hire anyone
Yep when you don't wanna pay the people who went to school and do a good job... you get anyone....
Sometimes it's welfare mothers who have to work for their checks!!
It’s common because we as a society reserve our empathy only for our families and friends-and as long as we have a job, family, and friends, we will turn a blind eye to those that need our help. We also do not require any accountability from the people that manage and own these places.
What a nightmare.
Anyone who abuses elderly or people with disabilities should be punished fully.
Also physically by the client's family members.
Years ago my MIL was a caring loving CNA in South Florida… she reported several of the nursing homes she worked at and had to quit each one.PLEASE watch over for your loved ones!
Why would they hire these two at such a young age anyway? I wouldn't leave an 18yo to care for an elderly person with dementia because they might still be immature and not able to empathize with patients yet. Even 20yo should be monitored closely as they're very inexperienced in life and could easily make a clinical mistake.
One of the most civilized comments posted here. They are too immature to empathize. Mere children whose frontal lobe hasn’t developed were placed in a position of responsiblity that they are clearly too immature to handle. High school bullies. And I also don’t believe the facility was caught off guard. They knew what they had in their midst. These girl were not quiet, but talking out loud and laughing. And I am sure this is not the first time they have done this. This is not about race. Not about calling people animals. It’s about the facilities hiring individuals who are not mentally capable to caring for others. They took a test and passed. That’s it. Elder abuse is very common. It’s so common, one should almost expect to find it just about everywhere. Never trust any facility. Be vigilant. Best case scenario, don’t patronize these places. I feel like they all are a gamble.
Hey they hire anyone who's willing to do it, probably cause they don't wanna pay them more...they terrible tho..
Hey ive been a CNA since 18 years old, and have always worked in elderly/dementia places, its not about age is mainly heart and compassion. My first work place the residents were so comformtable with me that one even told me that they were being abused by another worker.(I reported it the second i left the room)
Don't try to make excuses for this behavior. They did this just to ridicule a disabled elderly lady. These 2 were obviously raised wrong and deserve everything coming their way.
Not Necessarily , I cared for multiple dementia patients at once. I treated them like my own and miss them very much. Empathy and compassion is not really correlated with age.
This is exactly why I hated working in places like that,need more oversight.
This is everyone's worst nightmare when you aren't able to be there for your loved one. They deserve everything coming to them, Disgusting, makes me want to cry.
I personally think this happens a lot in America because of unqualified and cheap workers who don't care or have so too many patients. It would be better to go to a third-world country than a nursing or rest homes in the USA.
Install camera that the families can watch, that would weed out the animals quickly
Families can buy and place cameras in their loved ones rooms.
They are no more animals than you or I. They are young people who are acting very poorly, but they are still people.
Have the staff wear body cams
When you call these subhuman creatures animals you insult animals. Only humans do this. God help us
Does anyone realize what goes on in these places? I worked in several nursing homes from California to Nevada and if you knew just how bad they are you would never ever ever put a family member in there. Just disgusting
If you know what is happening at these places, I hope you are reporting and documenting it all to give to the authorities to stop it!
@born2doitright I agree,Don't just talk about it do something to stop it!
@@nickyyesimblessed1253 why would I do something? I haven't worked in decades and I am not about to be an advocate for anyone but myself and my family.
@@liveandletdie7187Weird flex, sounds like you’re directly admitting to being a part of the problem when you were in the industry. I don’t understand why you’d brag about being so self-centered.
Jail for years sick ppl!
As a medical social worker(worked in long term care facilities and now in hospice) here are some tips for facility living:
Put a camera in your loved one’s room where you can monitor them fr your home. (if they have a roommate the camera can’t face their roommate and the facility will have to make the other resident/their power of attorney aware. However, you do NOT need anyone’s permission. Just have to make everyone aware.) Will staff be annoyed: Yes. Will it make them behave the way they should towards your loved one: YES 👍🏽
Make frequent visits and occasionally bring goodies to sit at the nurses station for staff. This will help staff remember you and you’ll create a “presence” there.
Befriend other visiting family members. They can look out for your loved one when you’re not there and vise versa.
Get to know the Social Worker. Most of us are Social Workers because we truly do care. We can do things like set up video calls with you and your loved ones so you can see them, and communicate/enforce your preferences to other staff members. Get to know the facility Administrator and or the DON(Director of nursing) as well.
Be apart of care meetings that are held for your loved one. If there aren’t any formal care meetings, you have the right to request one.
If you can afford to hire a caregiver for any amount of hrs, do it. They will provide personal 1:1 care to your loved one that facilities cannot provide.
I'm not surprised. This happens more than talked about. 😢
I couldn’t even get through the video. My mom has Frontal Temporal Dementia and is sadly in a nursing home at 70. Seeing this type of abuse breaks my heart. We need to treat our elderly with love and compassion. They are human beings. This is shameful and disgusting. God bless the elderly ones that were in their “care”.
It was a full struggle for me to watch it.. had to brace myself b4 I even started it. 😢 where is the love for our seniors? Just no respect😔
It’s even worse if you watch Sherif Grady Judd’s full press con with the full video. Don’t Google it. I’m telling you, don’t. Take your mouse away from the search bar.
it was humiliating but this ain't abuse.
I feel you. My mom is in the early stages and it’s very hard!
@@f12pushthekeys Only a ngr would defend these creatures
I left CNA 5 years ago when I noticed that they were hiring young girls that were only there for a paycheck that had nothing to lose they only pay little money so older women are leaving because they have real bills and trying to put their kids to college these young women still live at home. I can tell you firsthand that most managers and supervisors know about this kind of behavior but they still keep them there because they work a lot of hours for nothing so this is what you are going to get. Over my 17 years of a CNA, I reported people talking like this with no respect I got in trouble for telling.
I’m a young care aide and I could never speak to an elderly resident like that or treat them like that. Idk where these ppl are coming from.
The only thing rare, is that a lot of these people
don't show their Evil as they do these crimes
against innocence !!!! Thank God they were caught 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Sadly we're seeing this attidude in to many service and care employees. What are we not seeing? I was struck by their ages, realizing that they could not have been on the job very long. Without excusing the vile way this senior with dementia was treated, you have to wonder about the hiring and training standards at this place. These 2 very young people are no longer a problem, but the people who hired and trained them also share in accountability and should not be excused. At 18 and 20 years of age they couldn't have been very experienced and I wouldn't believe that their lack of compation and maturity was just now revealed in this situation. I think we will later learn that the problems at this place go way deeper than these two individuals and this single situation.
I was shocked that they would have an 18 and 20 yo caring for a dementia patient. I would think someone older, with not just specialized training to care for said patients but, also, with years of experience.
They are not rare this bs happens all the time
Especially with these J Bunny's
So sad
OMG. People are actually so crappy. This made me feel so good about myself. Gonna thank my parents they raised me the way I am.
Put them in jail!
This happens more often than not.
“Incidents like this are rare.”
No they’re not.
I'm terrified of getting old
You Will Be Just Fine Just Stick With A Family Member That Loves U and That U Love and Trust .
@mjparham6430 Yeah, that's so easy.
It’s not rare! Believe me! I was in a facility for rehab for about 3 months and I had many horrible experiences in just 3 months.
You are right. It is not rare.
SKIP ADMINISTRATION GO TO POLICE. Admin is the CYA problem!!!!
Hasn't changed since the 90's. How sad.
Wow that’s sad. I work at a dementia caring for elderly and you really need to have compassion… I’m thankful I display that and my residents even tell me that they love me. I never understand why people with the lack of empathy decide to work at these places. There are some amazing workers out there too, just so you guys know. Pray over your grandparents to be well taken care of .
This is disgusting. Dementia patients don't know how to escape what may seem like a perpetual, never-ending abuse cycle. I sincerely hope these two young women receive the maximum punishment by law.
Unconscionable
Put them in jail, not out on the streets
As a CNA for 5 years and I worked several memory care facilities and this is not rare. I’d suggest to put a camera inside residents room. If management doesn’t allow that then take your love ones to the facility who allows camera inside.
Thank goodness an employee there had enough heart to report this..
This type of behavior is so natural. It comes so organic to these kind of ppl if you actually witnessed the way they behave he would never hire these ppl they are so destructive at such a young age their parents were destructive they were never taught how to act it’s a forever revolving door in these types of communities
Caretakers need to wear body cams like cops...that's the only way to provide extra observations to those patients for their safety.
That works violate the privacy rights of the patients. CNAs hello with showering, toileting, dressing etc, and recording any of that is abusive and totally unacceptable.
Disgraceful!!!!!!
My mom is an RN and she constantly complains about how neglectful, rude, and unprofessional the CNAs at her job can be. They stay making life harder for the nurses because they treat it like a McDonalds job. It’s sad because it could be them one day in need of care.
Absolutely terrible.. I refuse to allow my mother in a nursing home one day ..
I feel that every state should pay the family to care for their elderly parents or other family members so that this doesn't happen. So many people would rather care for their own but can't because they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of daily care and being able to work. Then the inpatient facilities would only be needed for respite care for the caregivers or other serious needs. Living in Florida, I've heard horror stories from friends about this. It's angering that elderly people are treated like this.
Some Family Members Are Just As Bad I Really Don't Have An Answer Except For Cameras Everywhere.
They do
@@deborahwhit118 Some states do, but not all.
This will continue in Florida because the people who know it's happening cannot vote or inact change. No politicians care about the elderly that are in homes, they are not potential voters. That's why you vote for who will help the ones who need help, not the ones who promise to help you.
I agree but you know Republicans especially Florida Governor ain't going for that
They deserve exactly what they dished out.
And why was bail given to people who are clearly dangerous to society
In Florida bail is guaranteed unless it's first degree murder. No matter how violent the crime.
This is so sad i hope they enjoy jail. this poor woman was harmed
Absolutely disgusting to watch. Prayers to the victims and their families.
Send them to prison!!!
Life in prison period.
Amen!
@@SuperTeresaann Amen
This definitely happens a lot!! Especially those of low income.
Sickening. Our poor seniors don’t deserve that 😢
The state exam for these CNAs must be easy to achieve with no real life training on how to have empathy for an elderly person with dementia.
Correct it's a 3-5 month training and that's it. They don't teach empathy that's something you either have or don't have. Parents should be teaching their children to be respectful to have compassion, have empathy for others, and love. These are things adults should already know have and do.
@@LKCLifer As a retired CNA l can tell you it depends on the state. But the federal government does require at least 75 hours of class time. There's four states that only require 75 hours. Then you have to pass your skills test. Then the written exam. So in some states you can receive your CNA certificate in 4 to 8 weeks. Maybe the states need to reconsider their qualifications.🤨
One of them is only 18. It can’t be that hard of take long to get certified
Administration CYA is the issue...co workers know who the POS is and its not rare
Training has nothing to do with it, these type of people are evil.
this happens ALL the time. My aunt used to investigate abuse all over the country and its everywhere
Because my sister was the POA for my Mum, she was able to get her locked up in a facility and made sure to let the facility know I was to have no contact with my Mum and the facility complied….three weeks later my Mum died and I wasn’t even told when her Celebration of Life was so I missed it….four years later I still haven’t and won’t talk to my sister or her evil twin again. Ask your Mum to not just talk to the POA but to also speak with other family members.
I work in a nursing home....and ive always encourage people to get a camera installed in the rooms. Its 100% legal!!!! They deserve to be in jail. Thats horrible.....i would be so upset if they were at my facility
The fact that nobody on the live reported it is also disgusting.
Our country is full of these types of people. It's only when their ignorance is on full display do we know to just put the keys away when they go to jail. These people, in my opinion, have more mental problems than the patients.
My gosh…what is going on in this world? Where is the compassion, professionalism, care, respect for your elders…
Absolutely disgusting they should be jailed for a long time. Absolutely sociopathic behavior 😤
I have a friend who works in a nursing home and she has witnessed numerous instances where staff abusing and humiliating powerless defenseless senior residents are ignored or shoved under the rug by management, too. Whistleblowers can be retaliated against. I'm certain this is more widespread -- and reporting to police isn't necessarily an option a solution is needed before getting to that point... IMHO
Hi. Then I fault your friend for not exposing these indecent uncaring caregivers. She need to report them to avoid them from being hired in that position again.
Lovelyme Lo from Memphis
Make them serve the max. No plea deals.
Life would be perfect!
If you’re fearful to come forward at work, please reach out immediately to your state elder care abuse hotline and to your local police. Many employees fear retaliation for coming forward to report abuse. Most nurses /CNAs are employees at will and these facilities can lie and terminate a an employee for anything they feel like conjuring up to avoid media attention. I’m glad this facility made the proper decisions in order to protect their patients but sadly this happens all too often and sometimes too late. Our laws against elder abuse need to be more harsh ( jail time even for 1st offense) in order to send a strong message out to anyone who is in healthcare! These 2 aides got caught. Imagine the ones who are still getting away with it. 😡
Yes!
Administration is part of the CYA problem.
Police don't care
I worked as housekeeping in a facility, and I was told "do not talk to patients".
Some of these elderly folks were absolutely BEGGING me to call their doctors, lawyers, and children.
One lady told me that they were lying and she hadn't seen a doctor for more than a year. I called the hotline, and they were found compliant, and I was fired.
How disgusting but what do you expect from them
You need to have patience when dealing with the elderly
Between the shortage and these two who you think is taking care of your family? Never enough staff I just have 38 patients by myself. Ask the right questions how many CNAs on duty per shift? These Company’s are cheap
It's ironic how they chose to do a job that requires some compassion. They clearly don't care about others.
What gravitate people to this field is the downtime. You can lay down, relax, watch TV etc. It's 60% down time. 40% work if that. Mostly monitoring, pass meds, assist with adls. Speaking or writing English isn't necessary!
@@goyod6 all that relaxing during work sounds good and all, but the chance that you might have to wash down an old person is a deal breaker in my mind.
I wanted to be a CNA and worked on the dementia floor for a very short time. I quit very shortly after. Not because of the residents but the staff. I remember an elderly woman always voiced that she can’t wait to visit her mom and would ask if her mom called(her mom passed away many years prior). I would be like “your mom has not called yet, tell me about your mom.” Anyway, one CNA worker was like “Just tell her her mom is dead, she does this everyday, she will forget and start again tomorrow.” I was shocked that this is what has been said to her. The pain will be no less real for her and for what reason to put her through that because she will forget tomorrow? It’s f*cking sick.
This is heartbreaking 💔
This is disgusting & very disturbing 😢
Animals
No not animals, animals are far more intelligent
You truly have to be one heartless cold blooded person to do that someone especially if they are suffering already from dementia. That’s someone’s mother, that’s someone’s grandmother or spouse. I would be so angry at someone if they did that to anyone I knew
Would hate to be the elderly person in these two's personal lives.
So so sad!
This was Pure Evil... please check on the elderly they deserve better...
why don't all caregivers know it's illegal to film or take pictures of patients like this? It's an invasion of their privacy.
They need to be locked away!!
