How camera captured health workers maltreating 89-year-old woman

Law enforcement disclosed that the workers were captured on camera mistreating an 89-year-old woman who has vascular dementia and is unable to communicate.

It was gathered that in February 2020, the family of the woman covertly placed a camera in her living space and documented video content spanning four days upon observing bruising on her arm.

The footage revealed instances of the woman being handled roughly, struck with a pillow and subjected to undignified and disrespectful treatment.

Regrettably, the woman passed away in October, prompting a police official to remark that she should not have endured such mistreatment during her remaining years.
