Across Africa, the elderly have traditionally been cared for by their families. Now, with life expectancy increasing by ten years in the last two decades, many Africans are turning to care homes for help. But are elderly relatives getting the care they need?
Undercover reporters gathered evidence of mistreatment and neglect of vulnerable residents at an elderly care home near Nairobi, Kenya’s capital. Secret filming shows staff members physically mistreating residents and dumping unplated food on tables, leaving struggling residents to feed themselves. Medical conditions were also left untreated.
Africa Eye reporter Njeri Mwangi investigates the dark side of elderly care in Kenya.

Thanks for this documentary.
Homes of the elderly in Kenya are run poorly from personal experience. There are 2 private ones I know where the patients are made to share personal clothes including innerwear 😢, patients clothes are stolen, not fed well etc. Just mistreatment of the elderly!!!!
1) Alpine Homes (Karen)
2) SJ Home for the Ageing (Kikuyu)
Pls expose them also!
This CS doesn't seem invested in the case. He seems oblivious to the fact that the elderly are also mistreated in there homes. The govt seems not capable or willing to take stern measures to stop the abuse. It is a sad state of affairs.
Help me with the number of that lady who helps the elderly pliz
Im a caregiver, this is so emotional , about Kikuyu thogoto, I can imagine what's happening there im just crying this is Soo sad ,,😭 I'm blessed to have my aged parents both, my sister left her marital home to come and take care of my elderly parents as rest of us who are still working to be able to support them, we usually gives her a break after a while, we alternate eg those who are able to say for three weeks, others can stay 10dys depending how we get a leave, please guys let give our lovely parents first priority ys they give birth to us they brought us up what else can take their place ,,it a command from our Almighty God, in the ten commandments Exodus cp 20 v 12 , , to me one else they are our second God , 🙏
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever!
Aging is a must for everyone. We will all get old and need help. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated
that's even for those fortunate to get to old age. its not even guaranteed to get to old age. Its a blessing. I even wonder how people will be so heartless to people of advanced age. These are people full of wisdom, and blessed to get to that stage of life. I learned the most about life when i was fortunate to care for my grandmother for 3 months. Very humbling and something you cant forget. Today she is no more, I would do that over and over if i had the chance again. i miss her every time i remember how she cared for us, until the point where she got to old age and we took over. People pls, treat our elders with dignity, respect, care and love. they are the pacesetters. cherish them.
This job doesn't need a grade,,or training....IT NEEDS A HEART FULL OF LOVE, PATIENCE AND HUMANITY 😢
It needs a lot of training.
I totally agree...for me this is the essence of true journalism
LOVE ❤ ❤ 💖
@@francisnjane3912 training with no humanity and patience is use less when it comes to such job
It needs all the above
"I have become a professional beggar for the elderly people." This is beautiful. More grace.
That really touched me too. What a heart of gold!
I am a caregiver & i love it, taking care of elderly gives me joy despite traveling out of kenya i will keep chosing elderly care forever.. they open bigger door for you if you treat them well inshort you'll never luck, i am a living testimony ❤
My mother is 97, lives on the island of Jamaica and is in great health, thank God. She still goes to church and still lives in the family home that she purchased in 1952. She has round the clock help, but most of the time she just wants to be left alone to do her crossword/find-a-word puzzles..😀.
My father died at the age of 97, twelve years ago. He married at age 90 to a 74 year old woman who treated him well until his death.
The plight of these elders makes me sad. But for the grace of God, these could have been my parents.
Ask Goverment. Or tewnde inooro
My mother took care of my grandmother who ended up dieing at home. In jamaica it's common practice to care for our elderly at home and I will do the same when my parents reach that stage of life.
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever!
Very hard to watch,being cruel to helpless people is dispicable.Good job Njeri and the team for exposing this wickedness.
my grandmother died last year, and every minute i miss her. whenever i pass an elderly person whether a man or woman, i miss her. this was heartbreaking story and i sure shed a tear. the elderly deserve love and care and that's the bottom-line.
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever!
My maternal grandmother broke her hip bone at 90. We relocated her to my retired mum's home, almost 150 miles away and she lived on a wheelchair for 4 more years before she died. Her final 4 years, though immobile, were her happiest years. She was cleaned each minute by her two surviving daughters and any grandchildren who were home at the time. She became more beautiful and her memories came back. When she died, we actually celebrated her life. We all felt we had done the best for her. My mother is now 73. If she gets down I will personally take her in. It's very African to carr for our old parents. Please don't neglect them.
I am my brother's primary caregiver. This is so fulfilling to do! I shudder at the thought of leaving him under someone else's care. This documentary is so scary
Pls i would like to know this place if possible
❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him Who sits on the throne, And to The Lamb, forever and ever!
@@Jakub-kw1rx Thanks be blessed
Taking care of the elderly is not for everyone it requires pacient,empathy,sympathy and a heart to assist tirelessly.
They are overworked and underpaid. I am not supporting this type of behavior. But I can see why they can’t find enough people to work in the field.
For sure. Patience, compassion, kindness, love.
This is a good story. The management of Thogoto Elderly home should be sued for mistreatment of those elderly people.
Anyone who humiliates a child or an elderly person is cursed.
True.
Hearing the old grandma asking for forgiveness broke me
I cried
very sad 😭
N the granddad saying he wishes to die because hes can’t feed himself 🤦🏾♂️
Why cant this be closed n all these people jailed?I will tell them their old age will be the worst.All this will come back to you.May you be struck by the fire of God😢
😢😢😢it's really sad
The ignorance from some of them is wanting. Patience, more patience is required while taking care of an elderly be it defendant or not. Always listen to them with your eyes, ears and heart ... it is fun working around the elderly and the gratitude from them has always left me humbled, I am a Certified Caregiver and I stand for care with love.
Agree
Agreed
We saw MACKENZIE SHAKAHOLLA CULT KILLINGS IN KENYA BY PREACHERS.
Yet they don't allow any volunteers to work there.i once asked to volunteer in 2014 i was 25.was told they have age requirements am not eligible
And God bless that lady who ledt her job to start a foundation to help the elderly may God meet her at her point of need...you are doing a good deed
Sometime back in 2021 we visited Thogoto home for the elderly and donated food and other items, I feel so bad to see people taking donations from well wishers meant for the elderly to their homes 😢. There are many youth organizations who visit and donate items to this home. I wish they treated the elderly like humans. It pains me to see this
Kenya seems to be full of different kinds of abuse. So sad.
While there are people with kinds of abuse, there are also very good people who are kindhearted, loving, caring and God fearing in Kenya
As is the whole world
The Said manager is a Heartless Beast of a woman who shouldn't be running such an Institution but should be in Kamiti Maximum Prison serving Life imprisonment..
They should close the institution.
And arrest the manager
Thanks Njeri for the expose. It's sickening to the core to see normal strong people mistreating and mishandling the elders. The worst that could happen to the younger is to manhandle the older in whatever way. Children should learn to take care of their parents until their demise. Exposing them to these conditions can't be justified in any way. PCEA church should stop politicking and do what the church is supposed to do, offering hope and care to the society.
Am a neighbor of the thogoto home. And we have always heard stories. One old woman ran off and dies in the Napier grass field behind the home.
A while back there was a lady am familiar with who used to come home with all manner of biscuits, flour, blankets etc
We've heard of sexual stuff going on....
It is a hellish place.
I'm so shocked that this ruthlessly barbaric shit is happening in our literal backyard.....I've prolly walked past this elderly home a hundred times
Sexual Exploitation 🙆🙆🤔🤔😔😔. Jehovah.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Am Kenyan ..we are very religious but very hypocrites 😢
A lot of care workers in UK are in prison right now for elderly abuse. Care givers needs to be educated about what they should do so they can give optimum care to the elderly..
Most of this carehomes don't want to employ professional caregivers.They are employing People who don't even understand the conditions of the elderly.
@@user-nc7hs2jr7j because they don't want to pay more
Yep they employ carers on minimum wage, and train them poorly.
That’s no reason to abuse the elderly because they are paid poorly. Fire them all and replaced them with people with caring hearts. Can’t be hard to find in Kenya.
@@rukam3 I know with the high rate of unemployment they will change them like underwear
Well done Njeri 😊 your episodes are some of my favourites on BBC Africa Eye. You have so much empathy and you tell stories with grace and care. Love from 🇿🇦
Oh no my heart just broke...justice shld be done to this home
What is the meaning of starting such a home full of inhuman behaviour?
The thirst for money will not be quenched
KENYA full of THIEVES.
It hurts that we become too busy to take care of our elderly parents. . Who back then they had time and energy to take care of us from the first day we stepped on this earth. . Care givers are there for money not for the love that the elderly can get from his or her family. Watching this documentary i just feel shedding tears. 😢 I share same birthday with my grandmother "26th SEPTEMBER ". . For the last 8 yrs on our birthday i travel to my rural home to visit the elderly and do donations. . OLD IS GOLD. My grandma is turning 88yrs this September as i turn 33yrs.
So encouraging
I am also hoping that these angels have no family otherwise it's very shameful to just surrender a dear parent to these homes.its business
It's dumping, if they are truly busy then paying them frequent visit will make them know what's happening. Seems they rarely visit them.
It's high time the Mt kenya community stopped abandoning their elderly parents in those homes It is the highest form of carelessness to leave your own flesh and blood to suffer in an elderly home yet you have a home Such kind of things can never be heard in other parts of the country
Majority do it for the sake of inheritance and greed. and selfishness
Unheard of in many Kenyan communities, very rare!
The Government should take the Said people who are responsible for this inhumane treatment to face the law.
I knew the carer hit the elder ...the poor guy I'm glad he finally went to the hospital
I thank God for my grandmother, she took very good care of our grandfather until his death, she is admired by many and I hope by God's Grace we will take good care of her.
The PCEA Moderator should tell Kenyans why this had to happen.
Worst thing is that even after Expose, Nothing changes😢
Yup Kenya is a joke and full of corruptions. The loved ones need to get them out
True
This is bad i am watching in tears.....lets take care of our own.
Do you agree with me?
The primary school that I attended was located next to Thogoto Home for the Aged. I used to board at the school, and the girls' dorms were really close to the home for the aged, separated only by a fence. One night, I suddenly woke up because I heard many sorrowful cries, which left me disturbed. The following morning, I asked a friend of mine, and she told me that the cries usually come from the Home for the Aged. When one of the residents passes away, they cry in sorrow. That's what she said. But honestly, I felt disturbed by that.
I can relate ulikuwa Musa?
Yeah Musa Gitau Primary School
Go back and help please
Very touching. When was that?
This just make me worry about being older. I don’t want to suffer
This was hard to watch. Why would someone do this to an elderly. Lord i pray i never mistreat the elderly
Believe me not they will pay,in these care home you go home with a blessing or a curse, it's upon them to choose what to take home. I feel for them and may God intervene and bring their destiny helpers
Shame to those individuals hiding under the blanket of helping yet they are evil. Elderly persons need to be respected and provided with anything they need.
Whats wrong with humanity?
This will happen to them for sure!
My late mom was in a palliative care home in Kisumu. The staff there had the exact same attitude. Got her out of there after a while as besides that, the facility kept mercilessly milking & milking off of us financially. Arranged for home based care& got her out of there. Had a high turnover of care staff as they never had the right attitude and were just there for the money. Unfortunately we lost my 2 months ago. Rest In Peace mom ❤
My condolences
May mommy RIP
Us Muslims we never dare to take our parent's in those care homes. We take care of them till they depart
it's not about religion.iya about the family.
Am Christians but our clan will curse you for that.
It's duty of children's to take care of their parents and grandparents.
Some were born alone and don't have other relatives to take of them?
So usilete dini hapa
@@artisthusnatalal3099Exactly that's the beauty of Islam.👍 Even when they're born alone they'll never be left alone
😭😭This broke me. I have made up my mind, am also going back home to look after my 87year old mom. I cant stand this. How do you beat up a cucu with a cane who has dementia. They need to be locked up, looking after elderly and the vulnerable is a calling. Not a job
This is really heartbreaking 💔😭. This place should be closed down and find better homes that are loving and nurturing🌞
Thanks Njeri and team! My heart goes out to all those who are in care. We don't know how those we trust to care for our loved ones actually treat them. Definitely another hard-hitting, eye opening documentary. Makes me thank God that my grandmother who's nearly 100 is living with family that can provide the best care. For all those who provide proper care to the elderly, thank you. For those who don't, let's hope you don't get the same kind of treatment if you make it to their age. Appreciate this very much. Keep up the great work BBC Africa Eye!
Thanks for taking the time to watch and feed back!
@@BBCAfrica
I hope you took that elderly man suffering from the painful skin condition to the hospital instead of waiting weeks for his family to do so....
The bad staff members are heaping curses on themselves. The PCEA church needs to do something. With these kind of service , you can either get blessings or curses.
Even in homes this is happening with relatives ignoring their elderly and stealing the money given by the Govt. I have witnessed it
thanks njeri for this piece. We were a very committed team in supporting the home. we had formed a group that would visit them every month to donate food stuff and do devotions with the elderly but its sad to see that the people in charge of the place are mistreating and abusing those elderly people. madam jane is so welcoming and at first sight you'll feel that those people are well taken care off and its sad seeing what she is doing
Be careful of wolves in sheep clothing. Be accountable of the food you donate, you show the staff packing it in their own vehicles. Speak to the residents… inquire about their care first hand. This has been going on for a long time for BBC to be prompted to investigate. Fire Jane and that staff immediately.. get them replaced. Do a thorough reference and background check of who you hire. Have cameras on site. This elderly abuse is rampant even in the US by our own people.
This is so sad to see a home we supported while I was still working. We bought food and even brought children to come and visit the elderly. Am so disappointed with Jane. But there is a God in heaven
And the way I loved the elderly. I could do anything for them. Helping in house chores. Most of the elderly that were close to me died in the recent past. Their understanding and wisdom is unmatched. I liked listening to them. I feel so bad and teary when I see such.
I worked with vulnerable elderly people for more than 3 years on daily basis, I learned a lot through this job, helping the helpless, helping the neglected, helping the hopeless. Many of which were only living waiting to die.
We struggled to get support, because elderly care is not very common with Africans. Zororai Old People's Home (Zimbabwe) became a better place because we all lived and treated everyone like family. People who have noone to depend on, but felt like you're the only hope they have. Challenges would arise, tears would fall, but joy remained in them being able to smile. Despite having changed work environment, I cherish every effort advanced in helping the needy. 🙏
This is quite disturbing; an indictment on society and a timely wake-up call for all. It is this bad, should never happen anywhere. Thanks, Njeri, for the expose, I hope the guy in a suit talking of spot checks does his duty. If journalists are aware of the abuse, why isn't he? Shame
My heart is very soft for old people and small children
Great journalism keep exposing. Thank you for your service......
Thanks for watching!
How dare they beat or treat the elderly bad. Haven't they suffered enough?
The man who is shaking probably has Parkinson’s. Medication and other therapies can help to relieve his symptoms.
Sad that people are treated this way when they get old. One doesn’t have to be Kenyan to have empathy for them. One just has to be human.
The lady saying is pretending I bet she never stepped to school.Why hire fools to take care of the old?
This breaks my heart as someone who lived with her grandma till her demise this is painful to watch😢Our Elders becomes our Childrens at old age
Am so sad to see this happening in my country, in my backyard 😢😢
I can't help but cry,, this is sooo bad, gosh! 😢😢
Am so sad and so heart broken to see this kind of inhuman done to this old people 😢😢
Very very sad indeed. Why one would treat the Elderly so cruel. What's the PCEA Church and Thogoto Womans Guild Thogoto doing. Do they know about this as a member of the PCEA. Am greatly Disturbed. The PCEA Moderator and all Leadership of the Church should take responsibility of this inhumane treatment. Very very Sad indeed.
I have been to this home and the people there don't allow outsiders to speak with the elderly there. Kumbe this is why😢
ooh no! in my country?😭😭😭😭. Honestly, i wish the Govt. will intervene. God bless Joyce for the good work she is doing. Thank you Njeri
*I'll never Give Up Praying for my Country Kenya even if its not Getting Better anymore*
Kenya is not getting better? Wow!!
Just because the media amplify the negative doesn't mean the positive isn't there.
How can you say this at the end of a documentary that showed a Nyeri woman caring for old people, and I know many like her, youth groups building for the poor, communities paying school fees for the needy, my own church visits and ministers to policemen and prison wardens. In one village there is a teacher who carries little orphans or single mother kids to school for free....
This is a great nation and getting better with time.
The media never tells the positive, they always hunt for the negative because the negative sells
Praying does nothing.
STOP bothering GOD in KENYA too much THIEVES there and NIGERIA plz stop.
We saw SHAKAHOLA CULT KILLINGS IN KENYA BY PREACHERS IN KENYA.
Prayer without labour is the beginning of delusional
Jim Rohn
"muhure ndina niugucoka kuma guku"😭😭😭my Kikuyu brothers and sisters who bewitched you.. always trending negatively
This is fascinating, being west African- we literally live to serve our parents into old age. I can’t imagine just leaving my parents
Exactly...I'm also from Cameroon and we don't even allow such elderly retirement home to exist cause our parents are our responsibility and we become their parents when they are old and can't take care of themselves.
@@sedrickhamani7843kenya is wicked country Bantu love to live like Angolo Saxons we Somali don’t abandon our loved ones even if one child cares for both others will help with finances where ever we’re in globe our elders are today ancestors.
That’s not the issue, anyone can be taken care by trained care workers. Kenyan like every country that’s is growing have their back sets to take care of their parents. Blame the home why do they take them?? Some families pay or home receives donations…
This is heart touching.
The Government must prosecute them, all who are responsible 😢😢
You may live long Njeri, GOD bless you for the rest of your life 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have dealt with chronic pain for almost 2 decades and we're it not for my caring and supportive family,I would be deep into depression.Though Iam under medication because of depression,it's because of the pain I have undergone .I wish iam given an opportunity to take care of people really need my care.i would be very glad because I have passion in taking care of people who are really in need whether sick or in pain.God I know you're my witness.❤🙏
May God punish these evil workers treating elderly this way, I'm so sad to see the elderly treated this way. Shame to all their children who abandoned their parents to go through this ordeal. May God bless this woman looking after the elderly in their homes, I will love to follow her part in my country after watching her. Thank you BBC for this documentary
Every now and then I will be coming back to see how this comment is doing because this is a mind-opening documentary and we can't thank you enough.
MOB LYNCHINGS still go on in KENYA
Mackenzie SHAKAHOLLA CULT KILLINGS IN KENYA BY PREACHERS IN KENYA.
These are human being like us only they are old we should give them the support they need what a shame
Heartbreaking, for the old man who says he shys away from eating since going to the toilet would be a big problem. 😢😢
This is true for some folks in nursing homes even in western countries. It is very sad indeed.
Knowing this is what we do wen we go outside our country, it makes me feel sad to see how cruel our grandparents are been treated aki, huku majuu ujaribu hivo utafungwa hadi mavi.😢😢😢
I am so proud of BBC Africa... It is such documentaries that make me so inspired and happy that I am pursuing Journalism I hope I will one day be at the very midst of such inspiring journalists...being forces of positive change
Thank you for the documentary, it's unbelievable how human beings have no love for other humans.
it's worse knowing this is happening to the vulnerable in society and in Kenya😥
It's very paining just by imagining their feelings. Kindly keep us update on the progress of the home after this exposure
There are other children who have resulted in mistreating their old parents and even take away their parents' property and sold it. Leaving the old parents starving. We need social workers to be recruited to deal with this menace.
This is really sad. A mother gives birth 10 children and takes care of them but the children cannot take care of their one mother. The caregivers have inherited curses and their four generations. Very disturbing and heartbreaking
Don't expect your children to take care of you when you're old. They were your responsibility because you chose to bring them to the world, not the other way round.
@jgjg934 You are an animal. Just the way animals are born and they go their own ways, to never again recognize their mother who have birth to them. My point is, take care of your parents and love them no matter what..
This makes the story makes me cry every time I watch. I am in the documentary but I still cannot fathom it.
I have cried 😭 . They don't deserve this treatment at all. Oh dear God, let them have care from compassionate and empathetic people
😭😭this is a different form of heartbreak.
God may you never let me take my parents to a care home as long as i'm alive and well🙏🙏❤
Absolutely touching
Good work. Unfortunate situation in those homes.
So heartbreaking! The tears I've shed seeing an old man shaking, cannot feed himself, and they can't help. This is so unAfrican! We were taught to revere and take care of our elderly. These barbaric carers should be in prison to serve as an example to others.
True. I pray that the Kenyan government does a full investigation and prosecute these perpetrators; and never allow this to happen anywhere.
I volunteered at Mji wa Huruma home. I loved the management there but the staff were often overworked and underpaid. They had a dispensary that hardly had medicine supply so they worked with what they had.
Looking forward for action to be taken against such kind of people that get caught up in such vices and prosecutions must take place. The devil is a liar!
Njeri Mwangi you do great 👍🏾 filming of the voiceless. The works that you and your family devot to are admirable💐. God bless 🙌🏾 you as you purpose to show up for the afflicted.
May our elderly find abundant peace, comfort and love as they 'get nearer to our maker in Heaven' 🙏🏾.
Wanjiku Joyce Kairu has a heart of gold, may God bless that woman. Love from Zambia 🇿🇲. Well done BBC Africa Team, I couldn't hold back my tears 😢
Thanks so much for staying the course, even though it's a tough watch. ♥
I am in Kenya.
@Msshikukairu The differences in the expressions of the elderly people in your care, especially the old lady who was laying down, and the ones at the home was really huge. I salute you for practically dedicating your life to this cause. You are blessed 🙌 😇 🙏
Thanks for bringing this out..I'm sure change is coming soon. This is not only the responsibility of the government but also for every one of us..
Its sickening to watch how they are mistreated and mishandled 😢
I am in tears watching this! This is utter wickedness! May God have mercy on them 😢😢😢
You can see some of these people really love the work they are doing but there's just something very demotivating somewhere. I don't know where or what it is? 😢
This is absolutely heartbreaking i m in tears right now why watching this video
I c😢ant watch ! Thanks for helping people.
Some people are doomed 😢😢who does such evil things to the elderly???They are in for generational suffering.
To them who are kind may God bless them n their generations too❤
Wah! This hit home! And you sleep easy seeing an elderly lady eating from the table? I told someone the other day as she told me her story of someone who is trying to run things at a kids' home she works at but this person has no heart for it, if you don’t have the heart, don't do the job! Thanks Njeri for the expose. I really pray government takes action. Even if it a home run on voluteer basis, get guys qualified to do the job and with a heart for it! It's not an easy job neither is it for everyone!
I will never ever take my mum to any elderly home I’d rather I die than see her in this homes
I Just Don't Want To Be Sad Anymore 😭😭...I Want To See Long-term Action Take Against This Inhumanity...I Can't Stand This .
I miss my grandma after watching this 😢 i will visit her this weekend 😊
It's saddening 😢 listening to them narrate the happenings in the so called 'Home Care' 😢😢
We can volunteer to be cleaning and feeding our elders if that Thogoto home.am so saddened for what have seen.
Why load donated food on a private car and take it away then complain.
Thats so evil.no word to describe how evil it is
Thank you for this expose. we know these things happen, but I did not think it was to this extent. People can be horrible
I affirm this daring, awesome journalist (Njeri) for great piece in journalism. She brings out unique stories that touch on the very core of humanity at the lowest and most vulnerable groups in society. Not many can dare go that extra mile to address the often ignored members of society. Njeri I from deep down my heart applaud you. You operate with highest degree of empathy and allow to be vulnerable on live coverage because you are human too. That's what competent journalits and counsellors do. Much love.
On the story line, it's hard to fathom just like it's hard to judge but I hope they will find justice. The institution has tried to issue a response statement which looked ingeniously defensive but unconvincing in my humble view.
