On March 22, 2007, Yolette Joseph, 49, will be sentenced for violating Public Health Law by committing elder abuse. She faces up to one year in jail. Joseph, a former certified nurse's aid, admitted to hitting a patient who is 69-years-old, wheelchair-bound and suffers from dementia.

The incident took place on July 20, 2006. It seems that Joseph was arguing with the patient. As the argument escalated, she eventually slapped the 69-year-old in the face. The patient suffered from swelling and bruising as a result of the abuse. Joseph made a false report and initially attempted to cover up her actions, but was forced to come forward after the injuries became obvious.
