Nursing Home Abuse Lawyer Blog

Freedom Village is a Bradenton, Florida retirement community offering independent living, assisted living, and skilled nursing care. On May 26, 2008, it was there that a 98 year-old Freedom Village resident suffered abuse at the hands of her caregiver.

Apparently, the 98 year-old resident was not cooperating with Freedom Village employee, Shamara Daniels. So in her effort to stop the 98 year-old resident from biting her, Ms. Daniels, apparently chose to bite back. In the altercation, the resident suffered two bruised eyes, scratches, brusies, and a bite mark on her hand. The facility investigated the incident involving Ms. Daniels and fired her on May 28, 2008. Bradenton Police arrested Ms. Daniels on charges of abuse.
