A pair of Dundee women will stand trial accused of neglecting residents at a city care home.

On various occasions between then and January 2021, she is accused to have shouted, sworn and made threats towards a male.
It is also alleged Isles shouted at another male resident on various occasions between December 2019 and March 2020.
Douglas, 50, is accused of neglecting the same man over a shorter time period by shouting, swearing and making offensive comments towards him.

She is accused of the same behaviour towards another woman between March and October in 2020.
Another charge claims Isles repeatedly shouted at a trio of residents between September 2020 and July 2021.

On that date, Douglas is alleged to have shouted at him and thrown a suitcase towards him.

It provides accommodation, care and support to up to 31 people who have experienced alcohol or drug-related brain damage, which prevents them from living independently within the community.
In its latest Care Inspectorate report, in April 2022, it received ratings between adequate and good.
