The frail and defenceless pensioner Bridget Rees was living in the Mary Seacole Nursing Home, in Hoxton east London, when she suffered the abuse.

Faderera Bello, 55, was a qualified “dementia champion” but was caught on CCTV poking patient Bridget Rees in the face and telling her to “shut up”.

The family of the widow caught the NHS care home nurse’s abuse on camera and she was jailed for four months after admitting ill treatment and wilful neglect.

But Mrs Rees’s family yesterday attacked a decision by the Nursing and Midwifery Council to suspend Bello, which would allow her to care for patients again within a year.

Faderera Bello was jailed for 4 months for abusing patients and has not been prevented from working as a carer.

Granddaughter Donna Davis, 36, of Hackney, east London, said: “We are going to keep fighting this. There are thousands of people in the world able to be carers. This one does not need to be back. We want to safeguard other people.

“We feel betrayed. We were told that when she got a light sentence, which was a bit of a kick in the teeth, that she wouldn’t work again.”
