Thibodaux Nursing Home Worker Charged With Cruelty To The Infirmed
Posted on Jan 24, 2010
An ex-nursing home worker in Thibodaux, Texas has been under fire after two allegations of nursing home abuse surfaced in the past few weeks. Thibodaux Police say that 51-year-old Nathaniel Monroe has a history of abusing nursing home patients – and say that he has been accused of grabbing an elderly man’s genitals and of placing a man in burning hot water while verbally abusing him.
Following the accusations involving nursing home residents, 90-year-old John Martinolich and 79-year-old Everett Thibodaux, both of whom resided at Thibodaux Healthcare, Monroe was fired from his job. Last year, Monroe was honored with the Employee of the Year and he has been working at nursing homes for the last 30 years caring for patients daily needs and taking vital signs.
Although neither man showed signs of nursing home physical abuse when examined by a doctor, Thibodaux police seem convinced that the man was harming patients due to statements from nursing home residents and the rest of the investigation. Martinolich had been under Monroe’s care for a year, and Monroe claims that he often complained his bath water was too hot.
Social Services Director Jerri Vaughn discovered the abuse when she heard screams coming from a bathroom during one incident. Monroe denies all allegations of nursing home physical abuse and nursing home verbal abuse. He also noted that no one told him he had been fired from his job. Vaughn did not disturb the scene of abuse or check the temperature of the water.
