A former nursing home employee in Rochester, New York, became the 12th person to admit neglecting an elderly patient with dementia. Certified nurse’s assistant (CNA) Marguerite Carrington, 49, pleaded guilty to the misdemeanors of second-degree falsifying business records and willful violation of health laws in connection with neglect of a patient at the former Jennifer Matthew Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.
The New York Attorney General’s Office conducted an investigation into complaints of patient neglect and gathered evidence by, among other things, placing a hidden camera in the patient’s room.
Bravo!
