Leanne Okely told National Indigenous Times her aunt has faced racism at a BaptistCare facility and a suspected assault at the hands of another resident.
"Aunty was put in care about two years ago. And most of our family weren't happy about it," she said.
"She spoke to me about the racism she received from other residents... Now it's prevalent that the older generation white people, not all, but some, are still quite racist. And culturally, as you will be aware, we are responsible for the elderly."
