    I worked in that place for nine months as a care assistant – nine long, gruelling, unappreciative, overworked months. I was on €8 an hour, and worked 12 hour days in a unit with 32 residents. Most days there was only 3 care staff to a unit. That meant I was solely responsible for at least 10 people at any time who needed constant care. This all in a place where the cheapest bed was €900 a week.

    Working in an environment such as a care home is extremely emotionally and physically draining. The fact that they won’t even fork out minimum wage for staff that are supposed to give care to those in their last days is simply diabolical and disgusting.
