Elder Abuse - Carers - Not All Bad

I am taking the unusual step on this blog - to acknowledge the great work done by dedicated carers in nursing homes.

Whilst horrible stories on elder abuse in nursing homes are given the warranted publicity, let us not forget that there are others who give their hearts and souls to the caring of our loved ones in nursing homes. Often, they work in difficult environment - made more difficult by under-staffed and/or under-resourced workplace.

I know a few cases, where the carers gave so much of themselves that they "burnt out" and suffered personal health consequences.

Having said that, let me make a statement of caution. If you are a carer and you feel that you are stressed out, for whatever reasons - seek help before it leads to your becoming an abuser.
