Eresha Dassanayake washes dried faeces from her mother's hands nearly everyday at a NSW residential aged care facility.
Ms Dassanayake told a hearing of the aged care royal commission in Sydney she believes her mother is left in a dirty nappy for long enough that the 87-year-old, although bedridden, tries to remove it herself.
Whoever tries to change her eventually, they're not washing her hands," Ms Dassanayake said on Monday.
"I find her hands covered in faeces every day."
