“My investigators moved swiftly to investigate these abuse allegations immediately after receiving the complaint,” Attorney General Conway said. “As always, I encourage anyone who suspects patient neglect or abuse in a nursing home, Medicaid facility, or personal care home to report it to my office using our tip line at 1-877-ABUSE-TIP.”
Heath was lodged in the Franklin County Regional Jail. Knowing abuse of a vulnerable adult is a class C felony. First-degree sexual abuse and third-degree sodomy are class D felonies.
Heath is scheduled to be arraigned in Franklin District Court on Feb. 4 at 9 a.m..
