An elderly Alzheimer's patient who endured a brutal beating at the hands of another resident at a Dundas nursing home has died. James Acker, 86, abruptly awoke in January to an attack by a second male patient in his 80s — who also has Alzheimer's — at St. Joseph's Villa. (Tammy Carbino/Facebook)Acker's family is not pushing for criminal charges, and say they don't blame the other man involved in this incident. St. Joseph's Villa was slapped with nine long-term care act violations and was also issued three orders to be complied with by the end of next month. They include a plan to protect residents from abuse, to follow a "code white" protocol and to respond right away to any incidents of violence and to better educate staff.
