101-Year-Old Blind Alzheimer’s Patient Raped Inside Nursing Home

"A 64-year-old man is accused of sexually assaulting a 101-year-old blind and nearly deaf Alzheimer’s patient inside a nursing home Monday.
Albert Thompson was also a resident at Poplar Point Health and Rehabilitation in Midtown.
A certified nursing assistant told police she saw Thompson assaulting the woman, who is bed-ridden.
Thompson lived across the hall from the victim.
Poplar Point isn’t commenting about what happened, but a woman with a loved one there had plenty to say.
The woman says she was shocked it happened at a nursing home and has asked the staff to keep a close eye on her mother, who suffers from dementia.
“A 101-year-old? That was like, wow, unbelievable! It should have..I wouldn’t say been caught right then, but they should have been watching her a little more carefully,” said the woman.
She also says the nursing home has been trying to keep it quiet."Police: 101-Year-Old Blind Alzheimer’s Patient Raped Inside Nursing Home | WREG.com:
