Two caretakers at a Texas nursing home are faced charges this week after video surveillance footage allegedly showed them injuring an 87-year-old man in his room.

Solidago Health and Rehabilitation caretakers Lisa Cooper, 61, and Keycia Johnson, 57, turned themselves into Texas City police Thursday pending an investigation into the assault.

Both women were charged with injuring an elderly person, a second-degree felony. They have since posted bond and have been released.

The Texas City nursing home said the women were immediately suspended and have since been fired.

The man's family told FOX 26 Houston a Ring surveillance system was installed inside his room after he complained about previous issues.

This particular incident began on Sunday, Oct. 2, when someone from the nursing home called the family to let them know the man supposedly fell out of bed and he was going to the hospital.

Solis said his grandfather's injuries, which included bruising, two black eyes and ultimately a neck brace, were not consistent with falling out of bed.

In the video footage shared with FOX 26, the caretakers are reportedly seen kicking, pushing and throwing the man, who is an amputee and has arthritis.

"They knew the camera was there," Lizandro Solis, the man's grandson, told the outlet. "It wasn’t hidden. We put a sign on my grandpa’s door that there’s video surveillance in the room."

Solis said the video also shows the two women pulling the curtain shut with a closed fist "like she's going to pound on him." The two women and the man were behind the closed curtain for 15 to 20 minutes, according to the grandson.

That's all kinds of sick.

"They knew the camera was there," Lizandro Solis, the man's grandson, told the outlet. "It wasn’t hidden. We put a sign on my grandpa’s door that there’s video surveillance in the room."

Solis said the video also shows the two women pulling the curtain shut with a closed fist "like she's going to pound on him." The two women and the man were behind the closed curtain for 15 to 20 minutes, according to the grandson.

Also they're just brutes, no intelligence there. They belong like, in a cave or something.

When this happened at the nursing home my mother was in, not only was there a camera put in the room; there was a sign on the door that said it was under camera surveillance; and two bitches still were dumb enough to get caught abusing the patient.
