"My father sent you to support the elderly, not to suffer!"
In recent years, because the number of newborns has been greatly reduced, the mainland has rapidly entered the stage of population aging. According to the latest data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, by the end of 2023, the number of people aged 60 and above in mainland China will be nearly 300 million, with a large elderly population base and a rapid aging rate.
Therefore, vigorously developing the "silver economy" has become the mainstream, including canteens for the elderly, schools for the elderly, providing medium and long-term care, short-term care, home care and other services.
Among them, nursing home care has also become the mainstream way of providing for the elderly, but now the quality of service in nursing homes across the country is uneven, and nursing home abuse of the elderly is frequent, and nursing home care is likely to lose their lives in two or three years, so it has caused a lot of social pension panic.
Recently, Ms. Li from Quwo County, Shanxi Province, reported in the media that her 60-year-old father was tied up and beaten in a nursing home in Lechang Town, which attracted widespread attention from the society.
It is reported that Ms. Li's father, Li Moushi, who is over 60 years old, lives in Tianci Nursing Home in Lechang Town, Quwo County.
On this day, Ms. Li went to visit her father, only to find him tied to an iron pillar in the corner of the nursing home by the caregivers.
It can be seen from the photo sent by Ms. Li: the old man is tied to an iron pillar, his hands are up, and the old man does not struggle to resist, as if such a binding is not the first time but the norm.
The elderly's daughter, Ms. Li, said that when she went into the nursing home and saw her father tied up, there were two or three nursing home nurses standing beside him.
The iron pillar was in a corner of the nursing home, and two or three nurses watched the old man suffer, and no one rescued him, which showed that they had long been surprised by this kind of thing, and their hearts were as cold as stones.
After checking the surveillance for two or three days, Ms. Li found that every day, her father was tied to an iron post! And the next day, she received a call from the nursing home saying that her father was hospitalized.
When she went to the hospital, she saw her father lying on the hospital bed, covered in scars. When Ms. Li saw this, she was very angry and her hands were shaking. Doctors said her father had bleeding on both sides of his brain and is still being treated in the hospital.
Ms. Li said angrily: "My father sent you to support the elderly, not to suffer!"
In response to this incident, the nursing home responded: the elderly suffer from cerebellar atrophy and cannot take care of themselves. At the same time, he suffered from skin diseases, and at that time, he was smeared with drugs to treat skin diseases, and in order to prevent him from scratching, he controlled the old man's hands and also to prevent the old man from harming himself.
If it is just a skin disease, then where do the scars on the body come from? To prevent the old man from scratching, it is necessary to tie the old man's hands to an iron pillar like a prisoner? Is this argument of the nursing home reliable?
On April 25, the Quwo County Public Security Bureau issued a police report, and after investigation, nurse Zhao Moufa tied up and beat Li Moushi many times during his care for Li Moushi. Zhao Moufa was sentenced to 15 days of administrative detention and a fine of 500 yuan, and the investigation of the case has been completed.
From the report, it can be seen that the nursing home's rhetoric is not reliable, the old man was indeed beaten and abused, and the nurse was sentenced to administrative detention and fines.
But there is a little bit of scary, in nursing homes because of limited human resources, especially in town-level nursing homes, if it is not for high pension fees, it is impossible for nurses to care for the elderly one-on-one, so what kind of treatment do other elderly people who are cared for by Zhao receive?
We don't know about elder abuse hidden in dark corners, but we can speculate that once such an incident breaks out in a nursing home, it is impossible for only one caregiver to treat the elderly in this way.
This can't help but make people ask, the old man is just not in good health, but he is not a prisoner, even if the police interrogate the prisoner, they will not be so rough, is it possible that the old man who has entered the nursing home does not even have basic human rights?
Netizens hotly discussed:
As soon as the matter was exposed, I didn't expect Ms. Li, the daughter of the party Li Moushi, to become the target of public criticism and was accused by netizens.
Liaoning netizens said: Because you haven't been going to see your father, if you often go to a nursing home, you don't dare to do this!
Many netizens have agreed, it is necessary to go often, some of the old people lying in bed are starving to death, the children go diligently, and the attitude of the nurses is much better.
Some netizens also spoke out for Ms. Li and said: My grandfather is cerebellar atrophy, also known as Alzheimer's disease, everyone search for Alzheimer's anger, and then look at the comments below, that is the real thing that every family experiences.
If there is such an old man in the family, the whole village and the whole family can be destroyed, and how much this disease torments the people around me, I typed more than a thousand words to try to explain, but I felt that it was far from enough.
Some netizens also reported that this punishment is too light, what is the difference between no punishment and no punishment?
There are also conspiracy theories among netizens that it doesn't matter if such a big nursing home is? I don't know how much to pay every year.
As soon as this incident came out, netizens sighed that going to a nursing home is the same as going to prison.
Downstairs retorted that prisons are a little better than nursing homes, prison deaths are a very serious matter, and nursing homes, everyone understands.
Jiangsu netizens said that the two elderly people she knew who were in good health went to a nursing home and died in two years. Some even have people gone in just a year.
Some netizens also said: Don't send the elderly to nursing homes, this is her bottom line for children.
It is natural for our parents to raise us when we are young, and for us to raise our parents for the old, and it is our responsibility as children. But now this bottom line has become a ceiling that many people can't reach.
The same local netizen said that one of his relatives was also in this nursing home, but later he was only injured once, and the person was gone.
In this case, it is recommended to investigate in detail, call the police to check the monitoring, see if the elderly have been abused, and if so, hold the relevant personnel accountable, and not let them become extralegal fanatics.
There is something to say:
All kinds of cases not only make us ask rhetorically, how can the elderly spend their old age with dignity?
Many children are likely to have no energy to take care of an elderly person who cannot take care of themselves or has special diseases because of the burden of family and children, so it is necessary to have a nursing home to provide corresponding services to reassure children and the elderly.
How to prevent such abuse of the elderly by caregivers in advance is actually focused on improving the supervision of the management.
You must know that a perfect and warm pension mechanism is not only for the elderly, but also for ourselves, because each of us has a time to grow old. Without children and daughters, netizens who are not married and infertile will be more worried.
And such a light punishment of Uncle Hat has also caused social dissatisfaction, is such a superficial and sloppy punishment considered connivance?
Xiaobian thinks that not only the caregivers concerned need to be punished, but also the managers of nursing homes should also be punished, so that they can play a more effective role in supervision.
Severe punishment should be given to the corresponding caregivers to serve as a warning to other caregivers. What do you think?
