Worried Son Plants A Hidden Camera At Mothers Nursing Home. What He Captures is HORRIFYING!When Camille found bruises all over her mothers body, he decided to plant a hidden camera in her room at Saint Joseph nursing home.
Camilles mother suffers from Alzheimers and didnt remember what happened to her which made him doubt other residents at the nursing home.
To make sure his mother was safe, he set up the camera and what it captured will make you sick to your stomach.
Camille discovered that it was not only the residents but also staff/caretakers who were abusing his mom.
The video shows how terribly the poor mother was treated there. These people are savage and should be punished!
What do you say?

PS. regarding putting residents into the community, I tried to get an apartment when my insurance company told me I could move out of the nursing home. But I have no family here, and the ins co more or less forced me to come here. They threatened to shut down my Medicaid if I went into senior/handicapped apartments.
It's a real racket.

Your state also has a long-term care ombudsman who is equipped to deal with the ins. co. racket.

(12,322 posts)As a nurse I have worked in nursing facilities, both rich and poor, and though I have experienced (and punished) poor patient care, I have experienced much more of the opposite: Staff treating patients like family, often providing out of their own pockets, clothing, treats, presents on birthdays and holidays, and care and love that absent family members don't; we called them Christmas families... sons and daughters and others that only showed up on Christmas Day and then only to criticize everything they saw.
I hate the abuse stories more than most, but sometimes the other side of the picture needs to be shown.
