Nursing home ties elderly to beds
Workers at a nursing home in Hefei, capital of Anhui province, tied elderly residents in their charge to their beds in the idea that doing so would enable them to better care for them.
A resident surnamed Lin sent his 78-year-old father to the nursing home in July 2010 and began paying the home 1,380 yuan ($215) a month in nursing fees.
