ANKENY, Iowa – A CNA was arrested Monday on a felony charge of dependent adult abuse in connection with an injury suffered by a resident at an Ankeny care facility in November.
Investigators say 20-year-old Megan Graham of Polk City was working as a CNA at a care facility at 410 NW Ash Drive when the incident took place on November 27, 2018. Sunny View Care Center is located at that address.
Police say Graham placed a resident on the toilet and then left her on the toilet and went on break.
The resident’s care plan specifically noted they were not to be left alone on the toilet. When Graham didn’t return to help, police say the resident tried to get up herself but fell and broke her hip.
Graham was booked into the Polk County Jail Monday afternoon and has since been released after posting bond.
WHO Channel 13 reports Graham is scheduled in court on April 17th for a bond review hearing.
