## Resource

A shocking video captures a devastating fall at a New Zealand retirement village, where a resident’s arm was “snapped clean in half” after being yanked by a carer — leaving her on the floor for hours before hospital care. The facility’s operator admitted fault, fired the involved staff, and pledged system upgrades. The daughter condemned the lack of immediate aid from other staff and criticized the operator for downplaying the incident and mishandling documentation. Experts warn this reflects a broader, underreported crisis of elder abuse in NZ, with no official data but global estimates suggesting widespread abuse in care homes. The operator says new cameras and training are now in place — but victims and advocates demand accountability and systemic change.
