(Kenosha County Sheriff)
Kenosha, Wis. — A Kenosha woman stands accused of abusing a 73-year-old man at a local care facility where she worked, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kenosha County Circuit Court.
Jahnix A. Medina, 27, was charged with one count of physical abuse of an elder person, intentionally causing bodily harm, a Class H felony. If convicted, she faces up to six years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.
According to the complaint, officers from the Kenosha Police Department responded to Water’s Edge, 3415 Sheridan Road, on April 21 after a report of a physical altercation. Staff members told police that Medina, a certified nursing assistant, pushed a male resident—who suffers from dementia and Parkinson’s disease—causing him to fall backward and hit his head on the floor.
Another CNA, who witnessed the incident, reported that Medina pushed the resident with both hands in the chest with enough force that he traveled about 10 feet before falling. Witnesses said blood was seen coming from the resident’s head after the fall, and Medina allegedly told another staff member not to report what happened, claiming the resident “fell from the chair.”
Medina denied intentionally pushing the resident when speaking with police but allegedly changed her story slightly after further questioning. Another employee at Water’s Edge reported that Medina had been verbally abusive toward the resident throughout the day.
The man was treated for a bleeding laceration to the back of his head at Aurora Hospital before being returned to the care facility. Officers noted that he was incoherent and unable to communicate when they attempted to interview him after the incident.
Medina made her initial court appearance on April 22, 2025. Kenosha County Court Commissioner William Michel II set bail at $3,000 cash, which Medina posted the same day.
Medina waived her preliminary hearing on April 25 and is scheduled to appear in court again on June 18.

Absolutely disgusting. We all are getting older, I wonder how she will be treated one day. Imagine if that was her family member.
She will get hers
Ban her from ever working in the patient care field in any capacity
She can’t work with people anymore AT ALL ‼️& SHE’S GOING TO JAIL ‼️😂
The fact that she is walking free right now sickens me! 🤨 This woman needs not only to be jailed for some time but she also needs mental counseling!
Counseling? For what? Not to do what no one ever should do ever!
Pull her license…. Work at Wendy’s!!!
So basically anyone can get a license. Pay some money and your licensed
No you need to complete a 6 week CNA course.
She would beat the meat!
This is disgusting! I hope they give her some much needed jail time and lotsofit!!!
She should be ashamed of herself.😔😔
These people depend upon us to take good care of them as they can’t take care of themselves anymore!
Most of them have already given up their homes, their vehicles, they’re Independence, can you imagine taking care of yourself your whole life and then to be put in a facility because you can no longer do it! And then for someone like you to come along and do what you did tp thos poor man! I hope you get a lot of time for it! I have no sympathy for a person like you. Karma’s a bitch and one day you’re going to see yours!!
Ashamed? Shame has nothing to with this. It’s truly disgusting and violates all basic human norms
Execute that piece of shit. If that was my father she did that too, look out.
OMG this makes me sick!!!! Why does this woman even have a license to work with these people!
$3,000 cash bail for physically abusing an elderly man with dementia and Parkinson’s disease?! Kevin, please tell me this is a typo and there’s a missing zero in the dollar amount. If not, what an absolute joke of a Kenosha County judicial system once again.
Court Commissioner William Michel II set bail at $3,000 cash, which Medina posted the same day. What a joke that’s walking around money for these upstanding turds.
Firing squad
Deport then all ? WTF does that even mean . You look like a idiot
Your mom love it tho
fat POS i hope she gets jail time!
They do have video cameras in the halls and I believe common areas in that facility.So I’m sure it’s on video. I work in healthcare with the elderly and dementia residents and THIS is unacceptable. Lock her up.
So and elderly person is only worth 3 grand? That bond should have been way for for that BS! She could have killed him.
Those eyelashes tho! lmao
Her attorney is 82 years old. I wonder how he’d feel being treated like she did that patient.
If you think she’s going to jail, brace yourself. She’s going to get useless probation and even if she screws up, they’re not revoking it. Again, she’s not going to do jail time. Lower your expectations.
She was a caregiver for a friend of mine. she was so lazy she was fired on the first day
I’m thankful that the other CNA reported her. She did the right thing! Please never let anyone get away with this type of behavior, ever! Our seniors deserve better care than this. Many times they don’t Have people to come check on them, it’s our duty to step up arms protect them!
She should lose here CNA liscense and never be able ro get another one. She needs to be met in a dark alley and know how it feels to be mistreated!
If you don’t know her and believe everything you read your a dumb ass she was wrongfully accused and the lady that she helped with the residence was lieing and she switched her story four times and there’s proof the other woman working with her did it and not my niece ,so to all you ignorant bitches that are bullying and slandering my niece need to back off because she has a lot of family that has her back.and she’s came to far in her life to allow anyone destroy her character, I’m reading yaw comments and your no better than the co worker that lied to protect her own fat ass. If you don’t know the whole story watch what you say about my Neice……. And since you’re so concerned about mines mother f…… watch how we sue everyone that jumped on ban wagon to destroy her name .you ever hear of defamation of character. We’re gonna make sure so get ready cause everyone will feel the wrath yaw putting on my Neice…….🤯👌🏼💯💯💯💯🤣😂😅🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽🖕🏽👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥴😤🤬😡🤫🤫🤫🤔🤔
