Christine M. Borasky, 22, of Ogdensburg, New York has been convicted of abusing an elderly nursing home patient. She was sentenced to five years’ probation, has been placed on 90 days electronic home monitoring, and has surrendered her state license.
She was accused of pulling the hair and spraying foam into the mouth and eyes of Grace M. Bradley, 82, on Aug. 6, 2007, while Bradley was in the care of United Helpers Nursing Home in Ogdensburg. She also fractured Bradley’s right hand while squeezing it tightly on Aug. 17, 2007. Sadly, Bradley died in mid-August, family members said.
Borasky pleaded guilty in September to second-degree endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person, a felony. Judge Jerome J. Richards said her anger issues definitely weren’t compatible around elderly nursing home patients that need specialized care and a lot of patience. “You were in the wrong business from the start,” Judge Richards said.
Bradley’s family is outraged by the court’s decision. They believe that Borasky was let off easy, and should be held accountable for the terrible acts that were committed on Grace. “This was no accident, this was deliberate,” said the victim’s niece, Jean M. Sawyer, outside the courtroom. “She got off way too easy.”
