That disgusting and abusive,poor excuse for a human being deserves to spend more time in prison and and should be permanently banned from working as a care worker,abusing and assaulting the elderly and anyone else who happens to be extremely vulnerable is an All time low and has absolutely no place in society,it’s time for people to learn how to respect their elders as soon as possible.

Hope I die before I get old. I’m 67 and dread being totally reliant on others.

This is nothing sadly.
The collapse of care work wages means only the utterly desperate or immigration are the only ones going for it.
If the general public knew the full extent of abuse is in Health and Social Care we’d be rioting, especially when so much of a local economy is propping up these care units profits while paying for the bare minimum.
I absolutely cannot work in care because I would be whistleblowing on it all. Not just the treatment of people, but the absolute sheer cost of it all, especially on people who have properties that could fund their entire care.
The entire system is fucked.

Unconscionable actions that cannot be justified, obviously. Systemic institutional abuse of any type is abhorrent and disturbing, and must be stamped out for the good of us all.
This said (and NOT excusing the assault in the case, or saying the victim deserved it): speaking as someone dealing with part time home care of a disabled, personality-disordered 90 year old with Parkinson’s and some form of cognitive decline…I do understand the *emotional temptation*.Â
My grandmother neglected, subjugated and emotionally-abused my poor mother as a child, and she’s passing on the treatment. She doesn’t appreciate a single thing her family give up for her, or how much she takes and siphons and warps with her behaviour. She thinks of everyone as a slave and lesser than her, and makes that abundantly clear. I never retaliate or pay back her treatment, but some days I wish I could (the day I feel my control slips, I’ll call the nearest home or relative and walk away)
And I’ve heard far worse horror stories, from females I once knew or befriended or worked with at different jobs, who’d done work in care homes and had been assaulted by the elderly men living there. Then nothing was done about it. All the predators in the world don’t just suddenly reform or give up their evil after age 70.
Nothing is more aggravating, draining, thankless and soul-destroying than sinking care effort into a human pit. People don’t like hearing this, but some elderly people, just like some adults or kids, are bone-selfish, cruel, hollow or rotten to the core, and will never change. While many of these poor care home residents are innocent or decent souls who deserve only sterling care, I guarantee there are some bad apples who make care worker or family lives hell.
Something does have to be done about homes & facilities for the majority who aren’t like that, though. We build social care not for the outlying few but the ordinary folks. I wonder if there’s any way to fix it without burning the entire system down.
