Isaiah Shuford was hired to work for Central Care Solutions at Bridgewater Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing in Binghamton.

A worker in the kitchen for about four months, Shuford spoke out on social media, claiming he witnessed residents being treated poorly.

"It was time for the resident to take her pills and she's not even in eye contact with the resident, she's in front of her laptop with the pills like, 'Are you going to take the pills or not?' I guess the resident didn't answer fast enough for her, she got frustrated, threw the pills in the garbage next to the laptop and said, 'Get out of my face,'" said Shuford.

Shuford was let go by Central Care Solutions. He believes he was fired for speaking out about mistreatment.

"They didn't say I was fired, they sent me home, this was during the pandemic. They sent me home and my boss said, 'I'll call you back when you work next.' I never got a call, so I kept calling and they finally told me two weeks later I was fired," said Shuford.

While the nursing home wasn't technically Shuford's employer, the facility says they take mistreatment claims very seriously. 

"When he's working in the building, he needs to report those things, and he never reported those while working at the facility," said Brendan Maloney, the nursing home's administrator.

Maloney says he was shocked after reading the social media post.

"The post was unfortunate, but we're working extremely hard to keep our residents safe. Our residents' safety is our top priority and we will proactively look into any issues that are presented to us, investigate them, and come to resolutions."

Shuford was fired by Central Care Solutions this past April.

Spectrum News reached out to the company to find out why, but received no response.
