  1. So she didn’t want to go to the new care home and tried to stay the in the hospital? So the hospital had to spend time and money on evicting her to the place she needed to go. Can’t make the stuff up.

  2. 100% she said “I know my rights” at least once an hour to the staff

  3. As an immigrant, 22% of my total tax went to people like this, haven’t seen a dime on it, yet we’re the problem😂

  5. I know people like to get mad at stuff like this, but I had a relative who had dementia and literally could not eat solid foods, they made him go to a care home which was suitable for his needs but they would leave food on his lap despite him not being able to eat solid food or feed himself. Ended up back in hospital due to poor care and we had to fight to not send him back there and to somewhere not completely disgusting.

    So whilst we look down on this woman and the time she’s spent in hospital, she had another care home she spent 9 years in, so chances are, the other place was not a good care home and she didn’t want to go there – as it can result in their health getting worse.

    She then got arrested and evicted to a place she probably didn’t want to be or could look after herself properly.

    We could do with better social care and treatment for those that can’t look after themselves without support. A lot of these places are terrible

  6. If anyone has read the BBC article, it seemed as if they were doing a puff piece. A lot of third person writing, saying that she was very easily upset but also seemed to gloss over that this person would self harm and threaten to harm others. The pictures of her bed and surrounding items wasn’t exactly giving homely vibes either.
