**HARRISBURG, PA** – Attorney General Michelle Henry announced prison and probation sentences for two Philadelphia direct care workers responsible for neglecting a quadriplegic relative, resulting in critical hospitalization.

On Thursday, both women were sentenced to two to four years in prison, followed by seven years of probation. Additionally, they are barred from working as care workers during this time.

The victims’ relatives, Rashina Long, 48, and Jasmine Long, 33, were employed to assist with tasks like bathing and meal preparation. Their neglect led to hospitalization of the victim in October 2022.

The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office investigation revealed fraudulent billing to Medicaid exceeding $140,000 between December 2021 and September 2022. The victim suffered severe pressure wounds, malnourishment, and dehydration, necessitating several medical procedures.
