The son of an elderly woman accused a nursing home of reusing a dirty mask that his mother vomited on.
In a Facebook post on Tuesday (September 15), one Tan wrote that his elderly mother was not feeling well and vomited after lunch. He claimed that the center staff cleaned, but still forced him to reuse his dirty mask.
“When my mom helplessly told them that the mask was dirty, the staff told her it was okay and went ahead to reuse the mask,” she wrote.

Along with his post, Tan shared a photo of his mother’s dirty mask.
“The staff at St Luke’s ElderCare Hougang Center at Hougang Ave1 Blk 126 It is a shame that you treat a helpless elderly man with such callous and inhumane treatment,” he wrote.
Mr. Tan continued: “At other times, you also did not clean my mother immediately after the movement passed in her diaper. Leaving this helpless old lady in her dirty diaper for hours that have caused her rashes. This has happened a few times despite countless comments. “
In a statement on its own Facebook page, St Luke’s ElderCare wrote: “We are aware of a complaint and a news article that are (sic) circulating on social media platforms.
The alleged incident involved our care staff allowing an elderly man to wear a dirty mask. “
“We are investigating the matter and have contacted the family members involved.
Any such treatment of an elderly person in our care would not be consistent with our values of care. We will take action if we find any errors and review our processes to see if they can be improved. We remain committed to providing the best care for our elders, ”they wrote.
TISG has contacted both Tan and St Luke’s ElderCare for comment and clarification on the matter. – / ITGS
