A Sydney family was devastated when they received an email informing them that their loved one had been brutally attacked in a nursing home. Joan Hobbs, 89, was beaten to death by another dementia patient at the IRT Thomas Holt Aged Care Centre. The family believes that the attack could have been prevented if the facility had been adequately staffed. They were only notified of the attack hours later through an email, which described the injuries sustained by their mother. Joan passed away five days after the email was sent. Advocates are now calling for better protection of aged care residents. The Minister of Aged Care stated that 24/7 nursing has been mandated in all residential facilities. Joan’s daughter expressed her shock and sadness over her mother’s death and the severe injuries she suffered. The family does not blame the attacker or the staff, but rather the system that failed their mother. They are demanding better staffing levels to prevent such tragedies from occurring again. The incident has been reported to the Aged Care Quality and Safety Commission, and a police investigation is underway.
