The owner of a Boonsboro assisted-living center faces criminal charges and a licensing investigation after an 84-year-old Alzheimer's patient crashed through the unfinished floor of a second-story room into the dining room below, police and state regulators said Monday.
The patient, Eileen Rindone, was in serious condition at the University of Maryland Medical Center's Shock Trauma unit in Baltimore. She suffered several broken ribs and vertebrae, a broken pelvis, a broken ankle and a severe head injury, police said.
Dickson O. Tabi, the owner of Soma Manor Assisted Living, is charged with one count of reckless endangerment and two counts of abuse or neglect of a vulnerable adult. The charges carry maximum penalties totaling 25 years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
