A DEMENTIA patient in her nineties was grabbed by the neck and force-fed by a senior nurse at a scandal-hit nursing home, a hearing was told.
Mary Reid Easton, 48, faces 22 charges of mis-conduct relating to her time as deputy manager of Hilton Gardens, Larkhall, North Lanarkshire.
The senior nurse is accused of using excessive force to put the woman in a chair and forcing food into her mouth with a spoon.
