Shortly after being put in the bed, my mom had an accident. When the aide returned and found that she had soiled herself, her tone was demeaning and she said, This is just a mess! (In a mean tone). My mom also said that she was very forceful while changing her. This is unacceptable. My Mom said that she felt hurt and embarrassed. She should not be made to feel this way and my family would like to know what the consequence will be for this behavior. We need to know that she is safe and cared for while in this facility, we are officially requesting an apology from this worker and assurance that this will not happen again.
