saw elder abuse to my father at clinic in st. charles. he had alzheimers
and fell out of bed to tile floor because bed rails weren’t raised..hard to
watch…also received antipsychotic shots upon arrival to contain him..he
never spoke again…get that clinic is a business but wonder would staff
allow their people treated that way? my guess is no…

i worked in the nursing home business and it is difficult to deal with some people. it was like they enjoyed aggravating the help. some were entitled and had no consideration for others.

I was a human resources manager in 2016 for 10 months and I resigned because the top managers tried to coverup the low moral, lack of employees, and ongoing investigations by the state of Missouri Senior hotline. They refused to pay adequate wages to the CNA’S that did the most work, hand on care of the residents.
