New York State continues its crackdown on nursing home abuse. Monique Jones and Nellie Weller were both arrested and charged with endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person and willful violation of health laws. Jones is accused of kicking an 88 year old resident in the ribs while she was employed at Kirkhaven Nursing Home in Rochester, New York as a Certified Nurse Aide. Weller is accused of using a nightgown to tie a 76 year old resident's legs and arms, leaving him unable to move while employed as a Certified Nurse Aide at Edna Tina Wilson Living Center in Greece, New York. Both women have since been terminated from their employment.
