West Valley woman accused of elder abuse
July 7, 2009
A West Valley City woman was charged Tuesday after prosecutors say she abandoned her duties as a caretaker of a 90-year-old woman she lived with.
The woman, 35, was charged with one count of aggravated abuse or neglect of a disabled or elder adult, a second-degree felony.
Police responded to Pioneer Valley Hospital on June 8 on an aggravated elder abuse case, according to charging documents. Detectives spoke with hospital staffers who said one of their 90-year-old patients had recently lost a considerable amount of weight, was suffering from renal failure, pneumonia and had multiple bedsores.
