Just Because Someone's Elderly And Ill Doesn't Revoke Their Humanity
-
Aging truly sucks, and it especially sucks when you end up in a nursing home and you're at the mercy of staffers who don't really care about you. And that's how we get three North Carolina assisted living home workers accused of staging a fight club with dementia patients, recorded on video. They also allegedly assaulted patients. How you could take a job at a place like that and lack empathy, I don't understand. But it's a reminder of how we so poorly treat the elderly, as if we don't expect that someday WE'LL be that age and someone else might mistreat us. (Winston-Salem Journal)
