A Lanarkshire carer has been struck off after causing "physical, emotional and psychological harm" to vulnerable residents under her care.
Mandy Brown was employed as a care assistant at Methodist Homes at Bankhouse, Lanark and between January 2020 and July 2021 was found to have mistreated residents on a number of occasion.
Between February and April 2021, Ms Brown was found to have failed to give one resident his food and told a colleague "don’t give him that, he’s been fed", shouting at the same resident "get up, stand up" and dragging him along the corridor back to his food. Ms Brown also told a colleague that was resident was "done" despite knowing he had not received any personal care.

In January 2020, Ms Brown was also found to have shouted at the same resident "get up, what are you doing" and tried to pull him up off the floor by the trousers.
She also lied about providing aspirin and atenolol to the resident and falsified documents, claiming she had given the medicine. On multiple occasions, Ms Brown also gave the same resident diazepam when it was not required.
In July 2021, Ms Brown was also found to have said to a colleague "just leave her, we will get to her later" after the resident wet the bed. She also told her colleague the resident had been changed when she had not.
Around the same time, Ms Brown said to a colleague "keep away from him he is nasty" in the presence of the resident.
The Scottish Social Services Council (SSSC) removed Ms Brown from the register, condemned her actions as "abusive and neglectful".
The report reads: "Your behaviour sits at the higher end of the seriousness scale. You have behaved in a way which was likely to cause the service users in your care physical, emotional and psychological harm in a place where they should feel safe and cared for.
"The practice you demonstrated was abusive and neglectful towards several extremely vulnerable service users. Service users have the right to expect that they will be treated with dignity and respect and protected from harm by social service workers.
"Your behaviour falls well below the standard of practice expected of a social service worker and is fundamentally incompatible with professional registration."
