Ohio Nurse Aide Indicted for Abusing Resident
A 24 year-old nurse's aide has been indicted on a patient abuse charge. Lillian Talley, who was arrested in January 2009, has been accused of assaulting a 71 year old resident of Ron Joy Nursing Home in Boardman, Ohio on November 27, 2008. The charge carries an incarceration charge of six to eighteen months and is a fourth-degree felony.
The female resident, who speaks Spanish, was trying to communicate to Talley that she needed her bed sheets changed and was waiving her arms trying to communicate her request. Talley allegedly grabbed the resident by both hands and pushed her backward several feet into a wall and left the room. The resident's hands were bruised in the assault.
Talley was fired after the resident advised facility employees of the assault.
