A family is speaking exclusively to ABC13 after their grandfather was caught on camera being abused by the staff at a nursing facility in Texas City.
The alleged incident happened Sunday evening at about 5 p.m. at Solidago Health and Rehabilitation in the 1700 block of North Logan.
The man's granddaughter, who wishes to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation, said the facility called her family to tell them the 86-year-old had fallen out of bed.
That's not what she saw when she looked at the video from a camera her family had installed in his room.
She said he actually slipped out of his bed and was then abused by two workers at the facility.
The man's family said they filed a police report with the Texas City Police Department. At this time, it is unknown if any charges will be filed.
The grandfather at the center of this video is still in the hospital with bruised eyes and other injuries, and his family said his time at Solidago is over following Sunday's incident.
"He's going to be transferred," his granddaughter said.
