re: Caregiver abuses, tortures 93-year-old patient at nursing home in gut-wrenching video

It boils down to hiring practices and the culture of the company that manages these places. Facilities that are for profit/revenue driven, penny pinching and operate on state minimum staffing levels often attract the dregs of society to care for these people. CMS has tried to regulate these types of things out of facilities but all they have done over the last 25 years is make it harder for smaller operations to stay afloat. More facilities have been bought out into the for-profit model by large chains and created more environments where this type of thing happens more frequently.
