An East Lothian carer who left a vulnerable resident for hours after they soiled themselves and 'gagged' them after being spat at has received a 24-month warning on their registration.
Alexandrina Preston, while under the employment of Sisters of Charity of St Paul The Apostle, was working for St Anne's Care Home in Musselburgh when the incidents occurred over two years ago. She also, on several occasions, failed to wear correct PPE while in the presence of others.
Preston was reportedly spat on by one of the residents while working as a care at home worker during the height of the pandemic but then said "F*** this, I'm gagging her, she's not spitting at me." Following this, Preston put a towel over the service user's mouth.
