EMMA Bryan and Katherine Wells were filmed abusing 89-year-old dementia sufferer Ivy Robinson
Bryan, 29, and colleague Katherine Wallis, 45, were seen dragging Ivy from a chair to a bed. Bryan, senior carer at Oakfoss House home in Pontefract, West Yorks, slapped Ivy on the hand and called her “a nasty old cow” and “a silly t**t”.
Mum-of-one Bryan was sentenced to four months. Wallis got a 12-month community order. Judge Guy Kearl told them: “This neglect is unforgivable and unacceptable.” Both women admitted ill-treatment. Bryan also admitted failing to give medication properly.
After the Leeds Crown Court trial, Ivy’s daughter Angela, 56, said: “To see what mum was subjected to sickened us.”
