A senior carer who was cruel to vulnerable residents she was meant to look after has walked free from court.
Sheila Gault was a team leader at Garden House retirement home in Berwick, Northumberland, where she worked with people who suffered from dementia. Her sickening treatment of three of them was reported to the police after a new colleague said she was left in a "state of shock" by what she saw.
Newcastle Crown Court heard Gault had called a retired surgeon "disgusting and stinking of s***", shouted and screamed at him and refused to put a crash mat near the 79-year-old's bed, which meant when he fell out he landed face down on the floor with nothing to break his fall.
