There are a lot of cases where a family member can not find a nurse and can get a caregiver. However, when problems arise, it is a reality that hospitals and appointment companies are not responsible. There is a case in which a caregiver pushes a 70-year-old dementia patient, and as you can see, he fell on the floor and was seriously injured but did not receive compensation. Let's take a look.

I am a reporter for Nam Joo Hyun.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, when a 70-year-old dementia patient wants to get out, the caregiver points to the side of the room and leads the patient.

When the caregiver pushes the patient at the end of the cheek, the patient recoils.

The old man broke his hip and underwent major surgery the next day.

[Damaged patient family: It's a situation where the hip joint has four pieces and the part is attached with adhesive. It's the first week of April that I've been judged to have all the bones. (8 months old).

The hospital reported to the police, fired the caregiver, and was responsible for some of the medical expenses, saying it was responsible for the costume.

However, the caregiver has said that he can not be held responsible any more as a private business, not a hospital employee.

[Jang, Dae - soo / YooYang Hospital manager: I'm a little nervous to educate (caregiver). If you have 4 insurance or a part of retirement allowance, you can not afford a hospital.]

Currently, caregivers do not have any qualifications, unlike nursing careers who need to be certified after a month of training.

[Mobile station / lawyer: The person who sent the caregiver or caregiver often does not have the ability to be responsible. Then I see that there is a situation in which the subject who can be responsible is unclear.

Most nursing hospital patients are hospitalized for a long time. In order to reduce the cost of nursing care, a caregiver takes charge of several patients and meals for 24 hours.

These poor working conditions lead to patient abuse and other accidents.

[Son, Duk-Hyun / President, Korean Nursing Hospital Association: It is necessary to have proper (caregiver) manpower standards and educate them. .]

As the demand for care increases dramatically due to the aging population, there is a need for management measures to raise the quality of care by creating qualification standards.
