Caregiver Arrested for Elder Abuse

The Island Packet of Hilton Head, a local newspaper for the area, reported that a caregiver was arrested this week for elder abuse at an assisted care living center.

Sonia King, 41, has been charged with multiple counts of abuse of a vulnerable adult at her workplace, the Brookdale Senior Living center. She has been accused of slapping two women and making verbal threats to choke another woman while she was working on Dec. 31.

A spokeswoman from the center said that King was fired on Jan.10 after they learned about her actions. According to Beaufort County sheriff's deputies none of the victims received life-threatening injuries.

At this time it is not certain as to whether King has retained an attorney for her upcoming court proceedings.
