“You think your mom is safe and now this is going on.”
Two nursing home aides and an Illinois nursing home are being sued after the caregivers taunted a 91-year-old woman with dementia — and then posted a disturbing video of the great-grandmother’s ordeal on Snapchat, court records show.
The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the Illinois Nursing Home Care Act and state privacy laws; that they were negligent; and that they intentionally inflicted emotional distress upon Collins. The video was later posted on Snapchat with the caption, “Margaret hates gowns,” punctuated with two laughing/crying emojis.
Besides violating Collins’ privacy, the family says in the statement that the incident “so traumatized and upset their mother that she couldn’t sleep, grew fearful of a repeat attack, and became so panicked at night they had to hire a private caregiver to stay with her because her overall health deteriorated.”Her children moved Collins out of the nursing home a few days later, which “severely disoriented” Collins.
