New York City Nursing Home Catches Abuse on Tape
Jessie Joiner a nurse at William Benenson Rehabilitation Pavilion in Queens, New York faces criminal charges after a video found Joiner dumping an elderly woman in a wheelchair onto the floor.
On March 20, 2010 Joiner was caught on video jerking a wheelchair which causes the 85 year-old woman in the chair to fly to the ground. The woman fell from the chair and broke her hip. Joiner quickly left the scene. In the video, the woman is seen lying alone on the floor for more than two minutes before another employee arrives on the scene. It appears he will help her, but with the patient still writhing on the floor, for over a minute he does nothing.
