Emma Bryan, 29, hit and shook Ivy Robinson, verbally abused her on several occasions and failed to give her proper doses of medicine at Oakfoss House Residential Care Home in Pontefract.
Bryan, along with her colleague Katherine Wallis, 45, also dragged Mrs Robinson across her bedroom floor which made her scream in pain before Wallis threatened her with violence.
