Elderly woman punched to the ground by fellow care home resident My mum does not feel safe there anymore and I am looking at bringing her home to live with me. It is a real shame because mum was quite happy there. I cannot understand why there were no members of staff present. They know the man who attacked my mum has mental health issues. The pensioner said she does not remember much about the incident, but recalls a flashing sensation before she felt severe pain when she hit the floor. The incident follows another alleged attack at a care home in Tipton, West Midlands, last year when a 91-year-old widow was kicked by a male fellow resident. Police launched an investigation after Janet Tierney, who suffers from dementia, was left badly battered and bruised when she was beaten in her room. The care home at the centre of the latest incident, Alston House, caters for 19 elderly people, many of whom suffer from dementia or other mental health conditions. A spokeswoman for Magnum Care Limited, which owns the home, refused to comment on the incident. A police spokeswoman said: "Officers were called to an address in Aylestone Road at 7.10am on Wednesday following reports that an elderly female had been assaulted. A 74-year-old man has been spoken to in connection with the incident.
