NY- Nursing home employee under investigation for sexual abuse

The state Department of Health is investigating whether an employee at a Rochester nursing home sexually abused a resident, health officials said today.

The health department received a complaint last week about a Shore Winds Nursing Home staff member, according to spokesman Jeffrey Hammond. He said health department officials visited the nursing home on the same day the complaint was made and are continuing to investigate the incident.

Hammond said law enforcement is involved.

No one at the Shore Winds, 425 Beach Ave., was immediately available to comment this afternoon. ..News Source.. by Justina Wang • Staff writer
