Nursing Home Resident Sues for Abuse
Posted on Mar 9, 2010 3:30pm PST
A nursing home resident has filed a civil lawsuit against a nursing home and an aide who allegedly sexually abused the resident. The resident is partially paralyzed and claims that the aide entered his room, disrobed him and touched him in a sexual manner against his will. This is the second charge against the aide. The resident currently still lives at the nursing home and is recovering from a stroke he had three years ago.
