@CynthesisToday @thefreehunter with the #Fediverse it's like with #Conservation:
The only winning move is to #contain the spread of #enshittification and ban the #GAFAMs from the premises.
They won't provide any "added value" and will only act as rent-seekers.
Or would you dump a dozen non-neutered cats into a #Kakapo reserve?
Letting #NSAbook into the #Fediverse will be as catastrophal as letting #Antivaxxer & #CoronaDeniers that tested positive run a #CareHome for immunocompromized ppl.!

Outcry as #australian #police #taser 95-year-old #CareHome resident. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-65642974 My heart goes out to the family of #clareknowland . I know from my own recent experience, how tragic & upsetting it is to lose a frail & elderly mother because of an accidental fall, but this is off the scale of pain. If Clare dies, the officer should be prosecuted for murder, nothing less.

[Rick is frustrated that the government and the #CareHome have not responded to the nearly two decades of #abuse at #ShepherdsVilla .
“A #CivilSuit is our only recourse. I hope people pay attention to this case, because it’s happening in communities across the country,” he said.
“I think what we need is a thorough #examination of what’s going on in #GroupHomes and other #CareFacilities because this is not an isolated incident.”]

I watched this film '#Help' tonight about the experience pf the onset of the #COVID19 #pandemic through the eyes of a #carehome worker.
It was truly harrowing.
#MattHancock threw them to the wolves. No #PPE, #infection brought to their door deliberately.
Never forget. #GTTO

I had another great day #singing at the #CareHome today.
I've been doing this for a few years now, and they love it just as much as I do.

On average 15% of older people being discharged from hospital are readmitted within 28 days. With each admission their level of #frailty and care needs increase, generating even more demand for health and #socialcare at home or in a #carehome. https://www.bgs.org.uk/policy-and-media/protecting-the-rights-of-older-people-to-health-and-social-care

With a relative in a #dementia #CareHome, this is not what I wanted to read right now. But read it I have, and the immediate reaction is one of disgust.

@FreeSpeech Need to see that smile? No problem. You can wear a face shield with incorporated mask which protects both the care home resident AND the care home assistant far better than a mask alone. It's reusable and the filters can easily be replaced/sourced from existing masks and scissors https://amzn.to/3uTu4lM

Hmm, first post hasn’t shown up. Can’t be bothered to type it all again. Just highlighting some issues with moving and handling techniques in #CareHome life!
Potentially also means that residents here require 2:1 for mobility. Which also suggests a need for higher staff requirement during the day/night shift.
Is it being overlooked to cut cost?
Complacent staff?
Poor training?
Lack of management insight?
I could go on forever. Apologies - Rant OVER #Nurse #CareHome
