A nursing home has apologized after they hired a stripper to perform for the elderly who are in wheelchairs.

A state-run establishment in Tawain, Taoyuan Veterans Home, houses retired army personnel. Employees paid the dancers for a racy show to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a holiday in the Chinese culture where individuals celebrate rice and wheat harvests of the season.

A recording of Thursday’s performance was taken by an attendee prior to being uploaded to social media, where it has gone viral.

The video depicts a dancer, with a mask, wearing lingerie and providing a senior citizen with a lap dance. Meanwhile, she pushes her breasts into the man’s face. The man is observed squeezing the dancer’s assests as other nursing home residents clap, seemingly enjoying the show.

However, after receiving criticism about the incident, the senior care facility issued a statement.

“The intention of this event was to entertain residents and make them happy. We are very sorry for the offense that was caused.”

A spokesperson for the nursing home said that because of COVID-19, previous Mid-Autumn Festival parties had been cancelled at the facility. So, the strippers were hired to make the residents feel better.

On the other hand, the nursing home agreed that the dancer’s actions were “too enthusiastic and fiery,” and they would ensure to be “more cautious” when planning activities in the future.

They added that other options to celebrate, like bingo and karaoke, were also taking place in another hall, at that time.
