Boss saw dementia as funny says carer
A manager at a care home asked a colleague to film a dementia patient on her mobile phone because she thought it was amusing, a disciplinary hearing was told.
Karen Leadbeater, of Cannock, suggested that care assistant Katie Fletcher capture the elderly woman, known as Patient A, during an outburst of shouting and screaming, it was claimed. Leadbeater was managing the Clarendon unit at Parklands Court Nursing Home in Bloxwich, Walsall, in December 2005, the Nursing and Midwifery Council was told.
Leadbeater also mimicked and insulted other staff and managers and branded one the Hunchback of Notre Dame, it was alleged.
The 38-year-old, who denies the accusations, faces being struck off if found guilty.
