In a shocking turn of events, accusations of mistreatment have been levied against a caregiver in Seubersdorf, situated within Neumarkt district. The public prosecutor's office in Nuremberg-Fürth has brought this matter to light, hinting at potential legal action following an investigation.
The alleged offender, a 33-year-old geriatric nurse, is said to have resorted to physical abuse against several elderly residents in the nursing home. Claims include dragging individuals across corridors, beating them, and causing minor injuries. Despite these damning allegations, the caregiver has remained silent on the issue.
The disturbing incidents reportedly took place between 2019 and 2022. It's alleged that the caregiver reprimanded elderly residents with physical forces if he disapproved of their behavior. One horrifying instance involves a 90-year-old woman being locked in the dementia garden during rain showers. Another elderly woman, aged 87, was reportedly manhandled, with her arms grabbed and dragged through various rooms within the facility. A 92-year-old resident was left vulnerable when the accused caregiver cut off the power to the night bell, preventing her from seeking help.
In total, the public prosecutor's office has brought twelve charges against the caregiver, all relating to assaults on six women and one man. Unfortunately, three managers of the retirement home in question have been cleared of any wrongdoing, with investigations against them concluding with no evidence of misconduct found.
The caregiver's actions have brought harsh criticism upon the nursing profession. This case is particularly unsettling given that the accused individual is a geriatric nurse, a role entrusted with the care and wellbeing of the elderly population.
