NEW HOPE — Two former employees of a New Hope nursing home may face criminal charges after hidden “granny cams” set up by concerned family members allegedly recorded the workers physically abusing at least two residents.

The two nursing assistants were fired from Saint Therese of New Hope on June 29 “following confirmation of allegations that they physically abused two residents,” the senior home said Wednesday in a statement to The Associated Press. Eight other nursing assistants were fired for allegedly failing to report the abuse or for using cellphones in resident rooms.

KMSP-TV was first to report the alleged abuse and firings.

“We are cooperating fully with authorities,” Saint Therese said. “We have taken numerous steps to prevent a recurrence, including implementation of a plan of correction. … Any abuse of residents is intolerable.”

Saint Therese says it has apologized to residents and their families.
