The footage shows the Alzheimer’s sufferer Maria Worroll, 81, was physically assaulted by a male caretaker and mistreated by four others at Ash Court Care Centre in Kentish Town, north London.

Worroll’s daughter Jane hid a camera in her room last year, after she noticed bruising marks on her mother’s body and suspected that she was being mistreated.

She filmed Jonathan Aquino, 30, slapping her six times on the face, arms and abdomen and other caretakers roughly moving her onto her bed and making derogatory remarks.

Worroll told Panorama that her mother had been the victim of a “totally sadistic” assault, adding, “[She] is just so vulnerable; she can’t get up, she can’t call for help.”

“It broke my heart to know this had happened to my mother at a time of her life when she was the one needing help and compassion,” she wrote to the Daily Mail.

Forest Healthcare, which manages the home, said this was an isolated incident in Ash Court, which is subject to “continual improvement.”

Aquino was jailed for 18 months at Blackfriars Crown Court earlier this month, and other female staff were sacked by care home operator Forest Healthcare.

Meanwhile, national regulator the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which had awarded the care home an “excellent” rating in July 2009, said, “CQC’s role was to make sure residents were protected once police and social services had acted to deal with the abuse shown in the hidden camera footage. CQC acted quickly and appropriately in this regard.”
