If you can't handle dealing with the elderly, do not take a job in this type of facility.

A 77-year-old veteran with dementia who was living in a state-run home for war veterans in East Feliciana Parish was punched in the face and hospitalized by an employee who has since been fired. The Veterans Home did not notify the family or transport the veteran to a hospital until three days after the incident, and family members say they're outraged by the lapse.

Faul said she got a call on May 1 notifying her that her father was being taken to the hospital. She said staff told her he was brought to the hospital because of swelling feet and because his "eye was leaking" and they wanted him to see a neurologist.
quote:
Kearia Wright, 27, of Ethel, was booked into East Feliciana Parish Prison for simple battery of persons with infirmities. According to the police report, two witnesses saw Wright rear back and punch Craft in the face with a "closed fist." One employee told investigators that on the night of the incident Wright reported that Craft was found in a room he wasn't supposed to be in and tried to remove him. "Craft comes out of the room and was swinging/moving his arms in a punching motion non aggressively towards Wright," the report said. The witness said she saw "Wright lean back and punch Craft in the face" and then "Craft grabbed his face with both hands and covered his eye."

Should have said "who has since been killed."

I'm more upset about the three days than the punch honestly.

Punching a special forces guy with dementia? Ballsy.
She's lucky he didn't think he was back with the Phoenix Program or something.

My Grandma was up there for about a year before passing... very depressing place.

I hope when you start hiding your own Easter eggs someone beats the living shite out of you.

I know firsthand dealing with someone who has dementia is exhausting, frustrating & infuriating all at the same time but nothing excuses punching someone in the face
The entire state run home / nursing home / geriatric medicine deal is nothing but a scam that bilks the federal government out of billions & places good people in the care of uneducated aides that couldn't give a crap less about them
This woman needs to go to jail
You don't mess with old people & kids IMO
