Carers to go on trial
5th December 2008
A HECKMONDWIKE nurse and two care assistants are to go on trial after an 87-year-old woman with dementia was injured.
Grandmother and former cricket club stewardess Violet Smith, from Heckmondwike, suffered the injuries in January while living at the Carlinghow Nursing Home in Batley, a specialist care home for elderly people with dementia, run by Charlton Care Ltd of Edgware, Middlesex.
Violet died two months after the incident.
