A family has hit out after a series of alleged failings which saw a carer fall on top of a 94-year-old woman, just three hours after she was released from hospital.
The shocking incident was caught on camera at the Lumphinnans home of Phamie Sutherland after her relatives became concerned by the level of care she received.
The footage shows a worker from Avenue Care Services attempting to pull the pensioner on to her feet from the couch in her living room.
She then climbs behind the frail OAP, who appears to be groaning with pain, and attempts to push her up before falling on top of Mrs Sutherland.
An investigation has been launched into the incident, which happened on July 27.
