'Why is it taking you so long to die?' Video of verbal abuse shocks family of long-term care resident


Diana Pepin couldn't believe what she was hearing when she reviewed video from the cameras she keeps in her 85-year-old mother's room at the city-run Peter D. Clark long-term care home. She watched in shock as a personal support worker getting her disabled mother ready for bed, leaned close and asked: "Why is it taking you so long to die? They keep feeding you too much food, or what?" Minutes earlier, that same worker had walked toward the bathroom, near where one of the cameras is, and said the word "bitch."
