Care home abuse caught on camera
The abuse took place at a home passed as “excellent” by regulator, the Care Quality Commission, and has led to one of the care workers, Jonathan Aquino, being sentenced last week to 18 months imprisonment for assault.
Another four care workers at the home have now been sacked.
Paul Edwards, from the University of Bradford’s Bradford Dementia Group in the School of Health Studies, provides leading expert advice on the programme, entitled: Undercover: Elderly Care.
