An alleged attack on a 91-year-old patient at a Somers nursing home is raising serious concerns about safety and oversight.<\/p>\n
Police say 36-year-old Nashecka K. Moodie, of the Bronx, was arraigned in Somers Town Court on Monday. She is accused of striking and spitting on a resident at Paramount Rehabilitation and Nursing Care on Route 100 this past Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s really disturbing,\u201d said one local healthcare worker.<\/p>\n
Authorities say Moodie was arrested by New York State Police and charged with endangering the welfare of an incompetent or physically disabled person in the second degree, a Class A misdemeanor, as well as second-degree harassment. Her case was adjourned to May 11.<\/p>\n
Moodie and her attorney declined to comment following the arraignment.<\/p>\n
News 12 also attempted to reach the facility multiple times by phone, email and in person but did not receive a response.<\/p>\n
The incident is drawing renewed scrutiny to the facility, which has faced prior allegations. In 2024<\/a>, another staff member was arrested for allegedly assaulting a disabled resident. During the COVID-19 pandemic, employees also reported staffing shortages and a lack of protective equipment<\/a>.<\/p>\n Still, some families say their experiences at the facility have been positive.<\/p>\n \u201cThe genuine care of this place, which I really was impressed with,\u201d said one visitor.<\/p>\n The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An alleged attack on a 91-year-old patient at a Somers nursing home is raising serious concerns about safety…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":212159,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,9,24,63,129,131,130],"class_list":["post-212158","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-the-bronx","tag-bronx","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-the-bronx","tag-the-bronx-headlines","tag-the-bronx-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212158","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=212158"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/212158\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/212159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=212158"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=212158"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=212158"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
