No charges are being laid in the case of an elderly Alzheimer's patient who died after a brutal beating at a Dundas nursing home early this year. 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 in Dundas. Acker, who had been living at the Governors Road long-term care facility for 10 months, suffered head trauma, black eyes, a fat lip and a swollen, bloody face. Police say detectives also looked into any potential criminal conduct in regards to St. Joseph's Villa and its staff and found there wasn't any. Since the incident happened, Acker's family have demanded changes to Alzheimer's care in the province.
