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.

      1. You need to take classes, test at the class, do an in person demonstration of multiple tasks with countless steps to pass the state demonstration of knowledge exam and then take a written state exam and you must pass with a certain grade or no license for you. There’s about 20 different care tasks with 15-20 in depth steps for each all of which need to be memorized step by step and demonstrated in order. You don’t know ahead of time which tasks will be asked of you so no, not just anyone can get it. You actually have to have brain cells in your head.

      1. You seem to me like you know a lot about beating the meat 🍖….🤣🤣🤣 so much both arms hurt 🤣🤣🤣 weather your a lefty or a righty… you beat that meat so much …! 🤣🤣🤣 shit give that meat a break baby I bet that meat tender than a mother fucker 🤣🤣🤣

  3. 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!!

  7. 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.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!

    1. Maybe you need to be met in a dark alley … say who you are anonymous….! Big words behind an anonymous internet post … scary ass 🤣🤣🤣 I can believe I’m always 10 toes down ready for a dark alley…. Are you …? Scary B**** …! 🤣🤣🤣 say who you are ….!

  10. 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.

Your niecy gets her filthy language from you.That nursing home should have never hired her in the 1st place & all they had to do was look on her FB page to see just what she is all about.🤢 It’s Ignorant for you to threaten to sue people bc you don’t like the comments. No one ruined her name . She did that !

  11. Now if only she’d get the six years but I’m sure she will just get probation and move on to another care facility.

Anonymous p and who ever else you are cowards for even commenting on this post not knowing facts make you a coward and a bully and bored with your lives that your trolling this article not knowing facts. The truth is they lied and her truth will come to light.im not saying what happened was right or ok because God knows it’s wrong ,we all have loved ones and hope and pray they never ever go through this horrible experience. But she didn’t do it and the co worker was desperate and lied to get herself out of trouble and my niece was helping her with her resident.theres a video and there’s proof who done it so please back the fuck off and show some respect and empathy.no ones deserved to be hurt no one deserves to be lied on no one deserves to be slandered or bullied on social media and no one deserves to be threatened for false statements. If someone hurts or does anything to my niece it’s gonna be hell to pay.So back the fuck off and Besty please go fuck yourself . Leve my Neice alone. MMY….
