Six former workers of the Good Samaritan nursing home in Albert Lea, Minnesota have been charged with abusing seven dementia patients.  The home’s owner is also being sued by the families of the residents who were allegedly abused.

Four of the workers were charged as adults and two as juveniles.  The two adults were charged with fifth-degree assault, abuse of vulnerable adult by a caregiver, abuse of a vulnerable adult with sexual contact, disorderly conduct, and failure to report misconduct.

Statewide investigations and publicity of the nursing home began in 2008.
