Biden’s Office Secures Conviction Of Healthcare Professional Charged With Patient Abuse

Georgetown – Attorney General Beau Biden announced today that his office has secured the conviction of a Sussex County woman who was charged with abusing an elderly patient at a Seaford nursing home.

“We have a special obligation to look out for the most vulnerable members of our community, including residents of nursing homes and patients in healthcare facilities who often can’t speak up and speak out,” Biden said. “That’s why we use our broad authority under state and federal law to hold individuals who mistreat them accountable for their crimes.”

In late February, the Seaford Police Department referred a report of patient abuse to the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, which opened an investigation. The investigation revealed that during a work shift at the Methodist Manor House on February 24, 2013, Anne Nunemann, a Certified Nursing Assistant at the facility, placed large trash bag over an 89 year-old resident’s head as she sat in her wheelchair in the facility. Fortunately, the victim, who suffered from severe dementia, did not sustain physical injury. The defendant was terminated from her position at the Seaford nursing home as a result of the incident.

Big Deal! This piece of white trash got probation. biden acts like this is some great accomplishment. She's just the type that votes democratic though. He probably didn't want her in prison because then she couldn't vote for him.

Any living thing, that's this disrespectful of those unable to help or speak out for themselves, has a much darker evil side, that has yet to be revealed.

One saving grace in this is that DE has a registry, she won't work in another assisted living facility again, most hopefully. When will MD get it?
