Jane’s mother
who 81 years old and has Alzheimer, always lived with her until she needed
round-the-clock care. She had to move her mum to Ash Court, which was given an
“excellent” rating by the Care Quality Commission. After a few weeks Jane
noticed bruising on her mother’s arms and hands. She decided to install cameras
which caught the abuse of her mother. She was shocked when she found out that
the nurse stroke her mother six times. She also noticed that the workers never
greeted or talked to her mother.
This does not only
happens in the UK, it is a problem all over the world. It is awful how people
who decide to work with older people treat them with no respect and even abuse
them. When I read this I hope I never become a vulnerable old woman and never
have to live in a home. I hope that homes are going to take more measures to
resolve this problem because it still happens. Jane’s way to find out what
happened with her mother is fantastic and I hope that the children pay extra
attention when their parents live in a home. Because of Jane the abuser is
caught and put in jail so he cannot hurt anybody anymore.
