Marie Jeanty, 59, who lives in the neighborhood, told the woman at the West Lawrence Care Center on Aug. 15, 2014, to move so she could change her clothing and bedding – but then allegedly pushed her, punched her in the arm and shoulder and slammed her face into the railing, authorities said.
The woman was taken to St. John’s Episcopal Hospital with a black eye and significant bruising and swelling to her arm and head.
Jeanty, who no longer works at the facility at 1410 Seagirt Boulevard, was charged with felony second-degree assault; second-degree endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person, or an incompetent or physically disabled person; and willful violation of health laws, a misdemeanor.
[. . .]
If convicted on the top count, Jeanty faces up to seven years in state prison.
“When New Yorkers place those who mean the most to them in a nursing home, they should have confidence that their loved ones are not in danger of severe physical abuse,”
