Two carers have narrowly avoided an immediate prison sentence after being caught on camera neglecting a 79-year-old seriously ill disabled man.
Muhammed Azeem, 40, and Khalid Hussain, 29, both from Rochdale , were caught watching television, ‘grabbing and pulling’ the OAP and washing him in cold water.
The pair were employed by Premier Care, based in Swinton, to visit the man in his home. But poor hygiene and dirty bedding at his home had sparked concern from his son who set up hidden CCTV in the house.
Azeem, of Roch Valley Way, and Hussain, of Croxton Avenue, pleaded guilty at Minshull Street Crown Court to ill-treatment or wilfully neglecting a person without capacity.
The pensioner’s issues were extensive including, kidney and heart disease, diabetes, dementia, hypertension and an amputated leg.
