MELROSE - A former certified nurse aide at Melrose’s EPOCH Senior Healthcare nursing home was arraigned in Malden District Court yesterday on charges that she punched and pushed down an 83-year-old resident of the nursing home who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease.
Jill Butterworth, spokeswoman for the state Attorney General’s Office, said the alleged assault took place on Sept. 17, 2008. The victim got out of her bed at the nursing home, located at 15 Green St. in Melrose, around 4 a.m., according to a press release from the Attorney General’s Office, and began to wander around her room.
