I was appalled, shocked and flabbergasted by the recent news of an ederly being mistreat in a nursing home by its staff.
The old woman was left naked (for abt 30 mins) and thereafter was being thrown onto the bed like a "thing" that someone can just throw around. After that, she was beaten on the mouth (presumably because she has made some noise?
I think the authority needs to met out a stiffer sentence to the nursing home as well as the staff who has committed such atrocities. As Singapore aged population increased, we are often face with a dilemma of how to take care of the elderly while maintaining the pressure of working hard to earn a living. For those who opt to send their parents to a nursing home, I'm sure that they would wish for someone to take care of the elderly professionally in a humane way. It sadden me to hear of this case and I wondered if more cases are left unreported...
