A caregiver has been caught viciously beating a 93-year-old dementia patient with a soiled diaper before trying to choke her out in horrific footage released by police.

Dontia Shawnra Arrington, 26, has been charged for allegedly assaulting the vulnerable patient at Landings of Genesee Valley in Flint, Michigan on April 4.

The attack was caught on nanny cam, which was placed in the victim's room after her daughter noticed 'handprint bruises' on her mother as far back as December.

'I'm watching and all I kept saying was, 'My mom,' you know? 'Why are you doing this to my mom?' She's 93, 5-foot tall, a little 130-pound lady,' she told a press conference where the video was shown. 'Horrified. Just horrified.'

Footage shows Arrington repeatedly smashing a full diaper over the victim's head while she sits helplessly in her wheelchair and raises her arms in defense.

keep your old people home with you and avoid this treatment....if not, no complaining....my mother kept my grandmother at our house...she had cancer.....6 kids, some of us sharing a bed...and yet my mom and day did this...it can be done.

This is why I refused to let my parents go to a nursing home. It took 14 years out of my life to care for them but I count it a price well paid.

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

I cared for my beloved husband until God took him home August 23,2021. He never left my side. I did pay a caretaker to come in M-F from 8-6....I was beyond exhausted when he finally passed away... but heart broken. He died at 83 years old after a long struggle with Parkinsons.

I do not regret ONE MOMENT of this time... not ONE!!!

just a correction...even side rails are considered a restraint in my state...that is why the nursing home beds are low with pads around them....I think its ridiculous and a fall hazard but that is the law....

using any restraint involves much paperwork, specific orders, and of course a drs order....

I didn't like hospice for my mom...they sent an aide and she gave a quick bed bath...the social worker was nice, she sang to my mother, and my mother would have liked her to come back again to visit, but she never did....

That’s a great story. And I know exactly what you mean by “ a genial old black woman in Dixie” from the times that I visited my dad’s Mississippi home town.

Good choice. Much more original than mushrooms.

A hospice nurse (??) came once a week to bathe my husband or tried to get him into the shower. I was in touch with a different hospice company and the owner was appalled to hear that the nurse never changed his bed. She actually came to the house armed with literature about her company and changed his bed while she was here. I would have been wise to make the change in companies but no desire to take on the unknown at that point. I was totally worn out...
