A cold-hearted Bronx nurse aide was arrested after she was caught on video abusing an elderly patient with Alzeheimer’s, authorities said.
Sandra Kerr, 55, was caught on camera at work hitting the woman twice in her side on Sep. 14 at the Gold Crest Care Center in Pelham Gardens, according to Attorney General Eric. T. Schneiderman.
The victim’s granddaughter had been worried about her care, and hid the camera in the room.
Two days before, she also allegedly pushed the helpless woman into the metal railing of her bed, and pushed padding from the bed onto her body. She also allegedly snapped the victim’s arm back.
She was charged with three counts of willful violation of the public health law, as well as three counts of endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person.
The arrest was made with the assistance of the New York State Police, according to law-enforcement sources.
Kerr, who lives in a basement apartment in Williamsbridge, could face one year in jail.
