VERONA, Pa. — A woman has been charged after police say she left a care-dependent individual unattended.
The Verona Police Department says officers responded to a home on North Avenue on Friday afternoon for a welfare check after getting a report that a care-dependent person was left alone.
Officers determined the person was left alone after On-Site Companionship employee Aryann Harper, 24, left the home because her relief worker was late.
Harper now faces a charge of neglecting a care-dependent person.
Police say the person Harper left requires 24/7 care and cannot be alone for safety reasons. The department also claims that over the last year, several employees of On-Site Companionship Services have been arrested for offenses related to the neglect of care-dependent persons at this North Avenue home.
