'Snapped clean in half': Daughter speaks out on mother's injuries at Ryman village

A woman named Janice Foreman suffered serious injuries, including a dislocated shoulder and a fractured arm, during an incident at the Edmund Hillary Retirement Village. The event was recorded on video and shared with her daughter, Nicky Foreman, who described the footage as shocking. In the video, a carer is seen pulling Janice by the arm, leading to her falling to the ground with no immediate assistance. She remained on the floor for over six hours before being transported to the hospital, where she required extended treatment. Ryman, the operator of the retirement village, acknowledged the incident and apologized, stating the carer involved had since left the organization. Nicky expressed concerns that Ryman had not adequately ensured the safety of other residents and made the process of addressing her mother’s abuse challenging. Janice’s condition has worsened, with her Alzheimer's symptoms accelerating significantly.
