Terrestrial Panorama, BBC1, 8.30pm Putting your closest relative into a nursing home is traumatic enough. One Panorama interviewee, whose mother had to enter a home after a stroke, describes it as the "ultimate in trust". But she was to die a terrible and painful death, because she was severely neglected. Panorama has discovered various cases in which people have been unsafe and unprotected in nursing homes. Instead of being looked after, vulnerable, elderly people were insulted, neglected, roughly handled or assaulted. A former care worker talks about nursing home residents being sworn at and physically abused, and care records for the official regulator being made up, ready for inspections.
