I did a shadow shift and the amount of neglect was astounding never went back. Got shouted at by another staff member. Various red flags. I need a job but morally couldn't do it.

Yup! My mom was a carer, she said, she would go to 1 clients house, and the previous carer would just leave dirty dishes in the cupboard! 🙈

I worked in a care home once and they ran out of pads. I left and reported them. we were advised to just leave wet pads on. It was cruel and negligent

I couldn't get them to send another carer to help wash a man with severe diaper rash - his skin was cracked and bleeding openly and they put a tarp on his chair so the leaking wouldn't ruin the chair

My MIL worked in a care home and a man’s stoma tube had become disconnected. When she told the senior nurse they told her to leave him in mess as he had pulled it out himself

I was working two years ago. A night shift. During handover I was told we had NO continence aids and told we had to use towels. Absolutely disgusting. No remorce. The reason why? No RN could 1/2

I worked as a carer and stories like this happened all the time. it's what made me leave. despite telling upper management about problems, concerns of safety and hygiene, they don't listen or care.

And these places charge like $3k+ per month to live there. I will not be doing that.

I was 8 months pregnant and I couldn’t do half the jobs they’d asked me so I did my best but couldn’t fully help…the amount of neglect was insane.

It breaks my heart how a desperation for workers in this field has lead to studies toward it costing next to nothing which results in people who lack compassion working in care just for the money
