Protection for elderly residents

Protection for elderly residents

Sadly, once again, following on from the recent BBC ‘Winterbourne View’ expose by BBC Panorama, which revealed two more appalling lots of cruel neglect and brutal abuse meted out this time to extremely vulnerable residents in care homes.

In light of these continuing horrendous abuses of our extremely vulnerable elderly residents clearly there is an urgent need for the introduction of adequate protective legislation for these residents in care homes. Our politicians should all hang their heads in shame at their inertia over the years towards this chronic scandalous problem they could redeem some of their lost public respect by introducing.  There should be an holistic protective Bill of Rights for all residents living in UK care homes now!
