Care home worker seen hitting man on hidden camera

The daughter of an elderly care home resident whose abuse in the days before he died was caught on hidden camera has spoken of her disgust.

The camera disguised as a clock in Ron Carter's room at The Gables in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire, uncovered a carer hitting him and staff eating his food in May 2020.

Two people were arrested but did not face criminal prosecution, while police found eight other carers' "actions as captured on the covert footage were not compatible with their role".

Care company HC-One said the behaviour was "unacceptable", sacked the agency involved and apologised to the family.
