Tennessee CNA Arrested, Faces Elder Abuse Charges
Amanda Tibble, a former CNA at John M. Reed Nursing Home, a nursing home facility located in Limestone, Tennessee, was arrested on March 1, 2010 and charged with five counts of willful abuse, neglect, or exploitation of an adult. The charges were the result of a facility investigation into allegations of physical and emotional abuse of resident at the hands of a facility employee.
Reportedly, Tibble mainly directed profanity towards residents under her care, but on at least one instance, she allegedly twisted a seventy-five year old resident's arm behind his back and was using profanity towards him.
Tibble "admitted to being verbally abusing to four clients by using profanity directed to them". She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing on May 3, 2010.
