Thank heavens justice has been done. This is utterly unforgivable abuse and neglect of a disabled person. The age and health of the caregiver renders her unfit to be a paid caregiver as far as I am concerned. There is no way that she was physically fit enough for the task and generally speaking this patient may have been better with two caregivers, given the high level of care required.
If the caregiver actually cared at all she would have been asking for additional support. My guess is she didn’t want to lose her job so just kept on as she did. Utterly selfish individual that gave no care as to the suffering of her patient nor her deteriorating health. There have been many frightening cases in the news over the years, but they are mostly in actual care facilities such as nursing homes for the elderly and disabled nursing homes. Heaven only knows how much happens in the patients own home.
