Neglect And Abuse.
How the vulnerable elderly are really cared for after we entrust them to a care home.
Safeguarding the rights of those who are vulnerable within our community, is the most beautiful gift that we can provide for a person at the end of their life. Caring & providing for the love and care essential to achieve this, is indeed most humbling…
Unless you have been living upon another planet in our vast galaxy so far, then I don’t need to tell you what abuse is do I?
