What most people do not know about this job is that some of the individuals can be very nasty with words, do horrible things to the care givers, and difficult to work with particularly the seniors with the onset of dementia and all that stuff.

Most people in the field, even the whites, would never categorize this as an outright abuse though.

Human rights, human rights, is how they've emboldened and made the individuals difficult to manage, and when you allow them to keep their human rights in their filthiness and unkemptness, the authorities will still be the ones to complain about abandonment.

If we had a country or leadership, they would have been left to be cleaning up their own mess however it pleases them.

For the op up there saying "People won't do this kind of job in Nigeria but will do it abroad". Your ignorance is "Harvard-trained". What government or private entities will pay people who do these jobs abroad what they make in 3-4 hours daily?

Nonsense.

I just chose to ignore all the mentions and people saying what they know nothing about.

I know we are always quick to apply emotions over common sense in most cases even when we don't understand the true circumstances not forgetting the bandwagon effect we are blessed with.

You see how one person quoted me without truly understanding my comment to hurl insults and subsequent commenters keyed into the same emotions.

They couldn't reason that if this was truly an abuse, the jail time given them wasn't what they would have been given and what they truly deserved, in my opinion.

However, since this was caught on camera by the family who decided to make a case of it, and then the client passed on maybe a few months later, of course, the judge will pass some form of judgment in a way to acknowledge and compensate their case and bereavement, respectively.

The people quoting me do not understand that what they saw in this short clip could be an hourly or bi-hourly occurrence as a result of her mental state.

Yes, there are laid down protocols and making reports to the effect that the client is refusing help. Now, tell me, if this is even a daily occurrence, shouldn't common sense tell anyone who truly separates emotion from reality that even the management of the facility, all staff, and indeed the regulatory body would have been tired of the many reports and just decide staff can and should do whatever they need to do to get their daily task accomplished without truly "abusing" the client?

Anyone who has ever worked in the industry or is still in it will understand what I'm saying.

There are hardly any care homes/facilities without at least one of these kinds of clients and everyone always understands that this is the only way they can render help to them.

These are individuals who are mostly cunning and would want to take advantage of a new staff by playing the new staff to do everything for them. In such cases, it is even the white bosses who intervene to caution the staff not to fall for their games because the individuals need to be allowed to help themselves to an extent to maintain or gain some extent of independence in their daily lives.

People need to learn, ask questions, and overall, be critical in their thinking.

And yes, I started in this field because it was readily available, a whole different experience for me, and I found it truly rewarding each time I was able to make them happy for the most part.

Yet, I have dealt with even worse cases than this, and I know how it goes. But today, based on recommendations from the places I learned the job from and my experience, I now work for the State Government. I even had 3 different agencies within the same body sending me offers but unfortunately, I can only accept one of them.

If you are willing to understand and learn how this stuff goes, drop emotions, and read my comment with an open mind.

Peace.

Your points are well expressed and understood. You really do, have the patience for divergence view. That y u are successful in the field
All the best.
