Elderly woman assaults home care nurse in alarming video

An at-home nurse was physically assaulted and verbally threatened by the elderly woman she takes care of.

An in-home caretaker was repeatedly threatened and assaulted by the elderly woman she looks after.

The violence got so bad that the caretaker began recording their encounters, including one with a knife.

Though the elderly woman could potentially have dementia, viewers of the viral TikTok have said they wouldn’t last a minute taking care of the woman.

Elderly woman spits in caretaker’s face

In a TikTok shared by zasta2030, who frequently shares viral videos, an at-home caretaker displayed the ultimate patience with the elderly woman she was looking after.

During their encounter, the elderly woman picked up a knife and held it to the caretaker as she was trying to put together a salad.

The caretaker couldn’t even dice up tomatoes without the elderly woman grabbing at her arms or throwing lettuce at her.

Not only that, but the elderly woman spat in the face of the caretaker. She also repeatedly said she wouldn’t stop attempting to hurt the caretaker after being asked to do so.

Despite the blatant abuse, the caretaker was extremely patient with the elderly woman, as she only asked her to stop once — keeping quiet for the majority of the violence.

Viewers of the viral TikTok have commented with support for the elderly woman, as it was apparent that she had dementia or Alzheimer’s.

However, others mentioned they wouldn’t put up with the assaults, especially since it was consistent and also a safety hazard. 

One viewer also said the caretaker’s check should “ increase abundantly” for having to put up with what was going on.

Though it’s unknown how much the caretaker does for the elderly woman, it was clear that she genuinely cares about her, as she showed nothing short of compassion.
