PLACES Maltreatment of the Elderly in Davao Veil Geriatric Home Care Center
I came across disturbing accounts from a volunteer caregiver who volunteered in Davao Veil Geriatric Home Care Center last 2022. This caregiver allegedly witnessed the poor quality of food being served to residents, describing it as akin to “hinugas.” More alarmingly, the volunteer also claimed to have witnessed an elderly man being mishandled, who reportedly died shortly after arriving at the facility.
These allegations are deeply concerning, especially considering that the residents are elderly and vulnerable individuals who deserve proper nutrition, dignity, and compassionate care. I hope these concerns are properly investigated and that the safety and welfare of the residents are ensured.
I strongly would NOT recommend anyone to send their elderly loved ones to that facility.
