A 44-year-old Smyrna woman who was working at the Delaware Psychiatric Center as a certified nursing assistant has pleaded guilty to falsifying records.
Daniella Seneus pled guilty to Forgery Third Degree and Falsification of Business Records.
In December 2016, Seneus, a certified nursing assistant, falsely indicated on a record that she had performed her required 15-minute face checks on a resident when she had not.
That resident was found dead of a medical condition the next morning, and no foul play was involved.
A Superior Court judge sentenced Seneus to one year of probation on each charge. Seneus will also be referred to the Adult Abuse Registry. Detective Dave Myers from Delaware State Police investigated the case, with Deputy Attorney General Kate Keller prosecuting the case.
