The elderly resident of the nursing home told her husband that she was being abused. But the woman suffers from dementia, and was unable to identify her abuser. Her husband set up a camera in the room, which recorded two instances of gross abuse by the aide. One instance involved the aide throwing the woman into bed, causing her head to violently hit the headboard.
