IS this something to be concerned about? should i report this as abuse
i work for a adult day care and i started to notice a serious pattern with the owner. She seems to complain all the time! at the clients or at her staff. she seems very impatient with the people that are there and they seem afraid of her. Meaning during meal times if i am feeding one of the clients and its taking a while she want me to rush them to eat. I also saw her having a full on cursing argument with one of the clients with dimentia. there is another client with advanced dimentia that she almost pulls up the hall and they have a hard time balancing themselves. What do i do? Im not sure is she is just finging a reason to pick with me or the clients.

How long have you worked there? Are you just noticing this behaviour because you are fairly new there or has she just recently started behaving this way?
Unfortunately some people get into senior care because they think it'll be easy money. When they find out how much patience and work is required it overwhelms them.
You should definitely report this to whomever regulates adult care where you are or even to the police who will notify the proper authorities. Picking on those who are defenseless is never something that should be allowed.
Good luck with your situation. Let me know how it turns out if you can.

Regulations and requirements can vary state by state.
So I am providing a link I found that lists each of the states and you can go over the particular state that you're in to see what regulatory agencies are the ones to handle the licensing and approval and yearly inspections of any Adult day care facility. They would also be the agency to take an anonymous complaint from someone who works there and make an unscheduled complaint visitation to see if they can experience proof of what is going on.
The owner may be going through some personal emotional stress in her own private life but people are not supposed to bring that to work with them and dump on employees or clients just because they have some personal problems or difficulties in life. If she has changed recently and wasn't like this before, thats likely an explanation why but still doesnt excuse such behavior. It's very unprofessional, immmature and unrealistic.
My dad after a couple mild strokes needed someone to help him eat from a spoon. It was a long slow process. He had difficulty getting the swallowing motion to work. If he had been forced to eat faster, he would have choked on his food. People bringing loved ones to such a facility are going to expect good care for them.
Here's the link. Hopefully this will help you know what agency to file a complaint with.
