A family has been awarded a million dollar payout after shocking undercover footage revealed their mother was being abused in her care home.

Eryetha Mayberry, 96, had dementia and was living at Quail Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Oklahoma when her daughters Doris, Earlene and Sandra suspected that caretakers were stealing from her.

They installed hidden cameras that collected footage of employees manhandling the grandmother by shoving latex gloves into her mouth and hitting her head.

After seeing the footage, the family filed a civil lawsuit, and Friday the nursing home was found guilty of negligence, and the family was awarded $1.2 million in compensation, according to Fox23.

The family also assisted in passing the POLO Act, a law allowing cameras inside of rooms at nursing homes, according to News9.

Following the incident three years ago, caretakers Lucy Waithira Gakunga and Caroline Kaseke were subsequently fired from the home and turned over to police.

The video footage that was handed over to police allegedly showed Gakunga shoving latex gloves into Mayberry's mouth and forcibly holding them there while Kaseke watched, according to NewsOK.

Daughter Doris Racher, said: 'All in the memory of our mother. All of us fought hard and are just happy that now we can relax a little bit, and mother's probably smiling.'

'I'm so glad and grateful for the outcome, because we told the truth, and the truth always prevails,' she added.

Attorneys for the facility said the family was awarded too much money as the care home is only worth $2.8million, and that the jury misapplied the law and granted an excessive award of damages.

Attorneys for Quail Creek Nursing home said they will appeal the verdict to the tenth circuit if they find it necessary.
