A frail 95-year-old woman had her face covered with a shower cap as a sick joke in a nursing home.

A carer-turned-whistleblower also reveals today how others were victims of humiliation and abuse in the £500-a-week home.

Kevan Ralphs, 42, has given up his 18 year service as a carer to expose their suffering at St Quentin Nursing Home in Staffordshire - where he claims that the residents were treated like cattle.

And he reveals how he repeatedly told superiors about his concerns - but was ignored.
