    One of the three abusers was 38 year old woman named Akousa Sakyiwaa. The three of them would bully and overpower the elderly patients by the use of physical force and verbal abuse. They would frequently tell the patients to shut up with a really bad attitude, and they also deal with the elderly in a violent, forceful and aggressive behaviour. The three would do these things constantly and the result will be elderly getting frightened of them and being controlled by them. One incident that Sakyiwaa did to bully one patient was put a bed sheet over a patient’s head named Joan Massett who was 87 years old at the time, and also told her she was dead –which clearly states that she was scaring the patient and ignoring the fact that she is an elderly with a certain condition. Another incident that Sakyiwaa did was slapping a patient named Louise Hodges just after cleaning her and afterwards grabbed Lily Oliver’s swollen arthritic knee prior to handing it to another carer –which then caused her to ‘scream with pain’. These acts could have affected the elderly patient’s physical condition. They could have developed more aches and pains –even more the patient who has an arthritic knee. When Sakyiwaa held a bed sheet over the patient’s head, the patient could have had a very hard time on breathing and also, could have possibly died by putting the patient’s life at risk…

    Whistleblowing Essay

    This culture of fear can be seen in article written by Hayes solicitors on ‘The Downside for “whistleblowing” employees in the health sector’. The article details how five employees of the Avondale Nursing Home in County Kilkenny were found by the Employment Appeals Tribunal to have been constructively dismissed in 2009 by their employer after raising their concerns over the welfare of elderly patients at the Nursing Home. The article goes on to further detail how the “whistleblowing” employees have gone on to suffer financial loss as a result of losing their jobs and their willingness to try and address the practices that were existing within the nursing home at the time. The nursing home in question has since closed when it was taken over by the HSE because…

    This case is much closer to home; in fact it is just round the corner from us and had always been considered one of the most expensive and smart care homes in Bournemouth. This case caused quite a lot of gossip around the local care community, but in its way is no different to Winterbourne, just because it was money and no violence was involved does not make the case any less more terrible, in fact in many ways it is worse. The manager took the residents money to help herself out of financial problems, I am not sure how it was discovered, but in one article it mentioned that the manager had or did or was receiving treatment at St Anne’s hospital for mental problems, well, first if this is an ingoing problem how did she get the job, if she’s receiving treatment now it’s obvious its only because she was find out, let’s be honest, if she had not been found out it would probably still be going on, the amount taken were constant but small, small enough to say that the resident had been mistaken or had spent it or lost it, something like that really makes fools of the residents and puts them in a horrible position where no one believes them, immediately people would stereo-type the residents. E.g. poor old Mrs… lost some money. Mrs… always thinks she has more money than she has, and so on, this is terrible, imagine how that resident feels, when no one believes them, it must also be difficult for the families, the home is so very smart and beautiful it would be hard for anyone to imagine that there family members money was being stolen. I am glad that the case went to court , the manager deserves to receive a sentence that reflect how serious it is to steal an elderly, poorly persons money, and also a resident who is on your care and one who depends on you to insure their life remains as comfortable and as safe as they only deserved. A case like this would be difficult for the staff to understand, they would probably find it difficult to blame…
