Caregiver jailed for abusing 101-year-old dementia patient

June 24, 2019

An evil caregiver who was secretly filmed abusing & slapping a 101-year-old dementia patient has been jailed for eight months.

Ashikiah Reid, 36, was caught on camera roughly cleaning the elderly woman’s face with a flannel & slapping her hands & arms.

In the shocking video, the victim can be heard shouting out in pain as Reid manhandles her on Aug. 2 & 4 last year.

Reid, of Erdington, Birmingham, England, was caught when the woman’s family rigged up a secret camera after becoming suspicious about her behavior.

Reid was jailed for eight months after she admitted two charges of a caregiver ill-treating an individual at Birmingham Crown Court.

PC David Nash, from the Public Protection Unit at West Midlands Police, said, “I am glad the woman responsible for inflicting unnecessary distress & pain on a defenseless woman has been put behind bars.

“A lot of trust is put into personal carers & this trust was shattered by Reid’s actions against this woman. I hope this can offer the victim’s family some closure, knowing that someone that showed no moral compass when caring for the elderly has been brought to justice.”

Reid has been fired from her job & was consequently struck off – meaning she will never be able to work as a caregiver again.
