Two employees of a Florida nursing home are being held without bond at the Polk County Jail for allegedly inflicting abuse on an elderly man said to be suffering from Alzheimer’s, dementia and psychosis. The two, 28-year-old Yashika Jones and 35-year-old Rose Blaise, were allegedly caught on camera taunting and physically abusing the 76-year-old Alzheimer's sufferer on several occasions.

In another instance, Ms. Blaise along with another employee was seen kicking or stomping at the man’s feet as they moved him from his bed to his wheelchair. In yet another episode, Ms. Jones (together with another employee) grabbed his wrists, pinned the man’s legs to the bed and slapped him on his head as they attempted to change his clothing.
Dale Wilson, who is the son of the victim, decided to set up a surreptitious nanny cam in his father’s room when he noticed bruising on his arms and body. Winter Haven Police Chief Charlie Bird said that this egregious behavior from the accused duo that were supposed be caring for the man was absolutely sickening and that there was no reason for anyone, especially an Alzheimer’s patient, to be treated like that.
Mr. Wilson said that he reported the injuries to staff at the nursing home, but the bruising continued. In addition, he said that it was disturbing that anyone would treat an elderly person that way, and that he has apologized to his dad for what he had to endure in the nursing home.
