MYFOXNY.COM - A family is planning to sue a New Jersey nursing home. They say an elderly family member died in January following physical abuse by a nursing aide.
87-year-old Mondesta Alvarado died at the Harborage Nursing Home in North Bergen, N.J. Alvarado was paralyzed and terminally ill when she was allegedly abused.
Former aide Julia Galvan is accused of repeatedly striking Alvarado. The abuse was captured on a video camera the family installed in her room after they suspected mistreatment. Galvan is also accused of removing her oxygen mask.
Criminal charges are pending against Galvan.
