In 2019, the Winston-Salem police and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services received a disturbing tip concerning elderly abuse at Danby House. Allegedly, three employees at the assisted living facility were running a “fight club” with the dementia patients.
Tonacia Tyson, Taneshia Jordan, and Marilyn McKey were employees at the facility, which reportedly specializes in memory care. In these types of facilities, they already have difficulties just ensuring the people under their care stay on the premises. There have already been cases where some members have run away from facilities and others who lost track of their group once they went for a trip in the city.
