An unattended resident of a Stirling care home was left in a distressed state when he could not summon help as his call bell was disconnected.
Stirling Sheriff Court was told last week that the man, in his fifties, had been shouting for assistance without any response.
Fifty-eight-year-old carer Angela Carson had appeared for sentence last Wednesday after admitting ill treatment or wilful neglect under the Health (Scotland) Act 2016.
