A former certified nurse aide at Melrose’s EPOCH Senior Healthcare nursing home, who in August pled not guilty to charges that she punched and pushed down an 83-year-old resident of the nursing home who suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, changed her plea last month and asked for the case to be continued without a finding, which the judge granted, according to the state attorney general’s office.
On Oct. 1 in Malden District Court, the judge also ordered Marie Michel 54, of Medford, to serve one year of probation with the condition that she not work with the elderly or disabled and that she not contact the victim or the victim’s family, according to Jill Butterworth, spokeswoman for the state attorney general’s office.
Butterworth said that the state had been seeking a guilty plea with a one-year probation period that carries the same conditions imposed on Michel last month.
“As long as she abides by the terms of probation in the next year, this won’t be on her record,” she said, explaining the legal meaning of ‘continued without a finding’
