After assault in Palma: Fine instead of prison — What remains for care home residents and staff?

Answer

Why are older care homes in Mallorca considered vulnerable to workplace abuse cases?

Care homes can become vulnerable when staff are under pressure, shifts are long and onboarding is rushed. Those conditions do not excuse abuse, but they can make it easier for boundaries to be crossed and harder for colleagues to react early. Good supervision and clear rules matter especially in environments built on trust.
