Aide charged with viciously beating grandma, 95, who defended herself with backscratcher

A home health care aide accused of beating a 95-year-old grandmother in her care was arrested and charged this week for the alleged assault.

Home security cameras allegedly captured Oluwanifemi Aborisade viciously beating Dorothy Foye in her Harlem apartment in July, according to video shared with The Post.

Aborisade, of Queens, arrested Tuesday, was charged in Manhattan Supreme Court with two counts of second-degree assault, which can carry up o seven years in prison, and one count of endangering the welfare of a vulnerable elderly person.

She pleaded not guilty and is being held on $25,000 bail, according to court records.

The women were arguing about changing Foye’s bedsheets when the aide started throwing items at her charge, punched her multiple times and hit her with a metal kitchen pot, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office.

Foye, who uses a walker and oxygen tank, could be seen in the footage begging and defending herself with a backscratcher.

“I called the [aide] and she said everything was fine,” Tiffany Mitchell, 43, one of Foye’s granddaughters, told The Post in July.

Then, she redialed her grandmother and was stunned by what she heard.

“I hear this woman in the background — it’s like Jekyll and Hyde — screaming profanities at her,” Mitchell claimed.

Aborisade, who was hired through the Brooklyn-based home healthcare service Medflyt at Home, allegedly threw water and garbage all over the floor before fleeing the scene, the DA said. 

Foye, who was a home health aide herself, was left bruised, aching and traumatized from the incident, the family told The Post.
