他们不在乎：当我们离开疗养院时发生什么事？ [英国媒体]

It's hard to describe how long six-and-a-half minutes feels when you are listening to a vulnerable person begging for a little human kindness. 

我很难描述，在你倾听一个弱小可怜的人乞求一点人性关怀时，六分半的时间有多么漫长。

I imagine that when you are the one doing the begging, a 96-year-old, once a woman of substance but now a confused and hungry nonagenarian, it feels far longer.

我想象当你就是那个乞求的人，已经96岁了，曾经是一个富有的女人而现在却是个迷茫饥饿的老妇，这也许还会更长。

‘Hello?’ she called, not just once or twice, but 25 times to the trio of care staff nearby. I stood with my two colleagues as they chortled over a cup of tea.‘Hello…’ one of them replied, mocking the elderly resident with a snatch of the old Lionel Richie love song. I was eventually told to take her some food.

“hello？”她对附近的医护人员喊道，不是一两次，而是25次。我和我的两个同事站在一起，其间他们笑了笑。“你好。。。”其中一个回应了一下，用一小段莱昂纳尔里奇的情歌糊弄了老人一下。我最后被叫去给她拿点食物。

Add to that the same elderly woman crying in pain as she was roughly moved on another occasion, other residents staying in their rooms because there were not enough staff to help them reach communal areas, called wicked names behind their back, disdained, disrespected and neglected and you can start to form a clear picture of life in the nursing home where I worked last month.

还有另一次，也是这位老人，痛苦地哭喊着因为她被粗暴的挪动了一下。其他住户都呆在他们的房间里，因为没有足够的人手来帮助他们移动到公共活动区域。护理人员在背后称呼他们的难听的绰号，对他们可以说是鄙视，忽视且不尊重，你简直可以想象我上个月工作的养老院的清晰图景。

The answer is mandatory CCTV in every room, with audio. It is a compromise to patient privacy but is absolutely essential today, sadly.

答案是在每一个房间都安装带音频的闭路电视。这损害病人隐私，但可悲的是这在今天是绝对必要的。

CQC inspectors carry out unannounced spot checks as well as announced ones.

I work as a chef in a Nursing home and we (as a company), are getting CCTV in our homes, BUT authorities say it is ILLEGAL for CCTV to be in their rooms or bathrooms, it can only be in hallways, dining rooms, kitchen and lounges. our staff are not this bad though, all staff are snitches in that place, if they see you do ANYTHING wrong they run to management for brownie points lol.

我在一家养老院当厨子而我们（一个公司）在我们房间里安装了闭路电视。但当局说，在他们房间和浴室安装闭路电视都不合法，只能装在门厅、餐厅、厨房、休息室。我们的员工可没这么坏，那里所有人都是告密者。只要他们看到你做错任何事就会马上去管理部告状刷印象分，哈哈。

Too many awful articles like this - if my parents need care I will give up work and do it myself

有太多类似的可怕文章——如果我爸妈需要照顾，我就辞职亲自照料。

Then you are fortunate to be in that position. Most people have to juggle working and looking after children with caring for elderly relatives, so being there 24/7 isn't possible. Also, I really hope your parents don't develop a condition which affects their behaviour, such as dementia and that they are sensible and compliant with advice. A problem I see time and again is exhausted sons or daughters who have to watch their parent constantly because they can't understand or won't comply with advice for keeping them safe, eg don't stand up on your own because you fall over. They often have to get up in the night with them so exist on very little sleep. They can't go out at all unless there is someone to take over. Many do this while being verbally and sometimes physically attacked by their parent and all the while feeling the grief of knowing they would never behave like that usually, but they don't know what they're doing. I wouldn't be too smug if I were you.

你要是处于那个境地可真是幸运！大多数人都要兼顾工作，照顾孩子，照顾老人，7天24小时轮转根本不可能。而且，我真的希望你的父母别发展到影响他们行动的程度，如老年痴呆症。希望他们通情达理也遵守建议。我经常看到的一个问题就是那些疲惫的儿子或女儿，需要一直看护着他们的父母，因为这些父母不懂或不遵守确保他们安全的建议，比如不要自己站起来因为会摔倒。他们晚上经常和父母一起起床，所以睡眠匮乏。除非有人接管否则他们完全不能出去。很多孩子在如此孝敬的同时还要遭受父母言语甚至有时候是肢体上的攻击，让孩子们感到悲伤的是他们知道父母本来不是这样子的，但是现在父母根本不知道自己在做什么。如果我是你的话我不会像你那么自以为是的。

I've helped do it. Don't underestimate what a hard and unrelenting slog it is.

我也在养老院帮忙过，别低估了在养老院上班的辛苦程度。

My personal nightmare is to end up in a retirement home that is why I buy insurance to pay for a full time carer to look after me at home.

我个人的噩梦就是死在养老院，这就是我为什么买保险来支付一个全职住家看护来照顾我。

The plan is to vet and hire a former nurse as a live in full time carer paid a decent salary to look after me in old age. Way better than being in a hell hole of a nursing home. The ones we have over in this part of the world is very depressing. I'll rather die first than be stuck in one. No kids and single so gotta make plans for the inevitable.

我的计划是老了之后，审核然后出高价雇佣一个退休护士作为全职住家陪护来照顾我。远好过呆在护理之家的人间地狱。从全世界这一方面来说我们所拥有的令人非常沮丧。我宁愿狗带也不愿困在里面。没孩子和单身狗们赶紧做计划吧，这将无可避免。

A friend, now passed on, had a few 'trusted' carers in her own home - most of them stole from her - cleared an entire cupboard of expensive, high quality bed linens even.

一个朋友，已薨，曾在她家雇了几个“可信”的陪护——大部分都对她行窃——甚至搬空了一整柜子的昂贵优质床上用品。

Can we know who is behind the Retirement Village Group of 'care' homes? The CEO and Board Members, or owners if it is privately owned? I am guessing we are not allowed to know who it is making millions from the sufferings of our elderly. They keep themselves well hidden.

我们可以知道谁在“养老村”集团的“关爱”之家背后吗？如果是私营的，他的首席执行官和董事会成员，或业主是谁？我猜我们不会被告知是谁从我们痛苦老人那儿赚了数百万。他们把自己藏得很好。

British. That may be true but that doesn't make them bad. They tend to be very respectful and caring towards old and sick people.

英国的. 这也许是真的，但这并不意味着他们是坏人。他们往往是非常尊重和关爱老人和病人。

Heartbreaking that our elderly are treated in such an inhumane manner, so glad he has exposed this staff for the vile, uncaring no-marks they are

我们的老年人被这种不人道的方式对待真是令人心碎，很高兴他已经曝光了这个员工的邪恶，冷漠无情。

Importantly, it was some of the staff and important not to tarnish the dedicated and compassionate nurses.

重要的是，这仅仅是一小部分工作人员而已，不要玷污那些敬业爱岗富有同情的护士们。

Yes the attitude of some of the staff is very disrespectful, but why single them out? Where are the owners and managers...the place sounds woefully understaffed, staff inadequately trained. Managers should be fostering the correct workplace culture and anyone not up to the job should be managed out of the door.

是的，有些员工的工作态度非常无礼，但干嘛单点他们出来？那儿还有法人和管理者…那儿听起来严重人手不足，培训不足。管理者应该培养正确的职场文化，任何不称职的人都该被扫地出门。

How disgusting, makes you wonder what goes on in most care homes.
