Three woman accused of abusing an elderly dementia patient at a suburban Philadelphia care home are scheduled to go on trial.
Authorities say the abuse was captured on a hidden camera after the Alzheimer's patient complained to her family she was being abused by workers at the Quadrangle Continuing Care Retirement Community in Haverford.
Ayesha Muhammad, Tyrina Griffin and Samirah Traynham are scheduled to go on trial Monday. They face charges including simple assault, false imprisonment and neglect of care.
Authorities say the woman's family set up a camera and captured footage showing the defendants taunting the woman as she stood half-naked in her room.
The woman's family sued the facility's operator in October.
