A caregiver allegedly caught on covert camera footage hitting and slapping an elderly man in a rest home has been charged with assault. "He stopped singing, stopped whistling and wouldn't hardly even talk to us." Police confirmed a woman was arrested yesterday and had been charged with assault. "No further action can be taken by the DHB against the caregiver. However there are questions about The Cascades' timeliness of actions taken with the caregiver."
