I’m a dietary aide in a long term care home.
This story made me sick to my stomach. The unit I work on has people with alzhimers on it. I had to report a lazy worker because she wouldn’t even attempt to feed the resident their purée dinner. Or feed them two bites, shove food down their throat. Awful.
I’m glad my report helped that piece of shit get fired.

Well done Mint. I work with older people too and woe betide anyone I find pulling this shit.

They should starve the beast till it's dead, just as it did to her 89 year old victim,

It claims the food was wasted on the elderly because they don't always eat it as if food given to a fat isn't always a waste. Food eaten that is turned to fat and then never used because they never lose weight is always a waste.

A carer? I'm familiar with "caretaker"but actually never have heard of carer.

That's what they call them in England, and in some places in the US as well. It's basically like a companion who also helps you eat and clean yourself, does housekeeping duties and drives you places, etc. Most people in the US hire LPNs for that kind of thing, but I don't know that you need any kind of certificate in the UK.
Hope that helps!

I have new retirement goals. I'm going to pose as an enfeebled dementia patient in places of abuse and neglect and self-defend myself all the sudden when they think they can do this shit.
