Braunschweig: A care home operator couple is on trial for allegedly sedating and locking up residents. The prosecution charges mistreatment of vulnerable individuals. The couple allegedly controlled everything in the care home in Langelsheim's Wolfshagen district, including the medication of residents. They allegedly sedated and locked up residents to maintain a disturbance-free care operation. The prosecution claims that the couple was motivated by a desire to earn higher profits by increasing the care level of residents and receiving more money from the care insurance. The care home manager allegedly made false statements to the experts about the health status of the residents. In some cases, she allegedly used sedatives to incapacitate residents before.
