Nicola Hughes hid a covert camera in a radio in her mother's bedroom at Barrogil House .

The footage revealed staff roughly handling Janette Ritchie and shouting at her.

One carer was filmed holding bedclothes over her head and saying " Rest in Peace " Five people were dismissed last year after the care home was made aware of the footage.

But the family continued to have concerns about standards of care.

Care Inspectorate upheld four complaints from the family about Janette 's care.
