According to LoHud.com, a nursing aide in the Bronx has been accused of raping a 64-year-old resident of the Manhattanville Health Care Center.
The website reports that Nanic Aidasani, 42, a certified nursing assistant employed at the center, was found on top of the woman at about 1:20 a.m., on February 18. Another employee at the center discovered the alleged rape.
The woman needed medical treatment, although the New York Police Department said her injuries were not life-threatening. The NYPD’s Special Victims Office arrested Aidasani.
Aidasani has been charged with second-degree rape, a felony filed against someone believed to have raped someone incapable of giving consent, according to LoHud.com.
LoHud.com attempted to get a comment from Manhattanville Health Care Center about the incident; however, the facility did not have anyone available to discuss the case.
The New York Daily News reported that the victim suffered from severe dementia, making it impossible for her to detail the incident to investigators.
“It’s just heartbreaking to see her suffer to this extent,” the victim’s daughter told the News. “It’s a really hard and difficult situation right now.”
My Family Member Was Sexually Assaulted in a Nursing Home
Approximately 5.1 million Americans over the age of 65 suffer from dementia, with some studies indicating that up to 50 percent of them suffer from some form of abuse at the hands of a caregiver.
Elders who experience abuse or sexual assaults have a 300 percent higher risk of death compared to people who have not been abused, according to the National Center on Elder Abuse. This is why nursing home abuse and neglect is something that needs to be taken very seriously.

KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.Posted on Google

Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.Posted on Google

Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommendPosted on Google

We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
