A former employee of the Williamsville Suburban Nursing Home in Amherst, NY was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to falsifying records to conceal the neglect of a patient.
Deborah Groth, 61, was sentenced by New York State Supreme Court Judge Penny Wolfgang to a three-year conditional discharge and 50 hours of community service. Groth, a former licensed practical nurse (LPN), entered a guilty plea in December to three counts of falsifying business records in the first degree, a class E felony.
