A nursing home in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, is facing controversy after it was discovered that a dementia patient was diapered with a plastic bag over part of her body스포츠토토.
The family members of the patients reported the nursing home to the police, claiming that they were sexually humiliated because they did not want to change their diapers.
On the 24th, a post titled ‘A disposable plastic bag was tied to his genitals at the nursing home’ was posted on the online community Bobae Dream.
The wife of the victim, A, 57, wrote in the post that she had discharged A from the nursing home on Nov. 19.
According to the post, Mr. A started suffering from frontotemporal dementia four years ago, and his condition deteriorated recently, so he entered a nursing home in Gunsan on February 3. He was unable to speak well and had to stay in bed all the time, making it difficult for him to live without the help of others, and he lost his right arm in an accident and was declared a third-degree disability.
Mr. A’s wife said, “Whenever I go to visit him, he cries every time. He told me that he was eating well and doing well, and that I shouldn’t worry about him, but I believed him.”
However, about two months later, she became sick for four months. On the 19th, during A’s visit, his wife found it strange that his diaper was not wet when he would normally have peed.
When she unwrapped the diaper, she was surprised to find the man’s penis tied in a plastic bag, surrounded by a white substance. The top of the bag was twisted to one side and wrinkled as if it had been knotted.
She also checked the nursing home’s closed-circuit (CC) TV. It showed the caregivers changing her husband’s diaper in a four-person room, uncovered. The husband struggled with shame when changing diapers at home.
When the family asked the nursing home why they were doing this, they were told, “He had bad skin, and we were afraid he would do it.”
In an interview with MBC, A’s wife said, “Within a month of entering the nursing home, his calves and armpits were chafed,” and claimed, “They had neglected him for a long time.” She added, “Moreover, tying his genitals with a plastic bag due to skin damage was enough abuse to make him feel sexually humiliated.”
Under the current law, the threshold for applying the Elder Abuse Punishment Act in nursing homes is 65 years of age. The man, who is in his 50s, has no other option but to call the police.
Meanwhile, Mr. A’s wife and family members removed him from the home and called the police. The police are investigating the nursing home officials and others for possible abuse.
