How the staff can demean the residents in a home in

While I was in the nursing home I realised that although the people there are paying for their care they are not treated as if they are employing the staff as it were it has recently occurred to me that the fact that my hair was not washed for more than four months after I went into the home may not just be laziness or carelessness letting someone who can't get out of bed become dirty either in their body or their hair or in their clothing is a way of diminishing them as people. and it's worse expression it was the way that the viewers were treated by the Nazis on their way to the concentration camps before they even got there there were no toilet facilities on the trains or in the trucks so by the time they're arrived at the camps they will be smeared with extrament etc and that was one way of making them less human to the gods under the people in charge and does it meant the easier for them to be ill treated even further as there were no more than dirty animals. petsimes stretching this too far but could it make it easier to care for all the people if you don't treat them as human by allowing their hair to remain unwatched for weeks? to be clean and well-dressed is a mark of status and to be dirty and ill-dressed is a mark of lowliness
