I don't work with the elderly, so if I'm wrong, please enlighten me and I shall happily stand corrected
But, I was watching the local news this evening, and there was a piece on about a local care home. There was a bit where a few of the residents spoke about recent closures of other homes. They spoke clearly, and eloquently.
Yet they were given cups of tea in grey, plastic, two handled cups. Not unlike the ones I give my toddler DC.
I understand that a few of them might be a little unsteady, but you can pick up cups and saucers from Ikea or even charity shops really cheaply. I know my Gran's care home served hot drinks in normal cups.
AIBU to think this is a bit... Well, not very nice actually? They are adults, fgs

AIBU?
To think that this is treating these elderly people like children?
