Do they just hire just any loser off the streets to work in these nursing homes?

I'm happy my retired sister was able to care for my mother when she was suffering from Alzheimers.

Bad apples are going to slip through the cracks everywhere, but there are some jobs that certainly need to take extra precautions (nursing homes, teaching, police, etc.)

Nursing home jobs are some of the toughest jobs to fill, so the standards for hiring are often extremely low. One of our local nursing home administrators got fired because she would, indeed, do the required background check, but she never opened the envelope containing the results. She simply didn't want to know.

My daughter worked in a nursing home for about a year and had to quit because of the wear and tear on her back, having to lift and/or move patients who were bedridden. And she said they really didn't pay enough for all the demands of the job.

EGGzackly -- so they end up with the least skilled workers being those in direct contact with the patient.

One of my church members sued a local nursing home for abuse, because her mother (under their care) constantly had bed sores and was frequently "soiled" and not cleaned up. They hid a small baby monitor camera in her room, and ended up showing that her mother was frequently yelled at and even slapped on a couple of occasions for crying.

She won 2.5 million dollars in the settlement. And, yes, she tithed.
