Carers at a Lancashire nursing home antagonised residents for their own amusement when bored, a court has heard.
A cleaner told how she saw staff laughing after throwing balls at the heads of dementia patients at the Hillcroft Nursing Home in Carnforth.
Lisa Greenland says she was "upset and alarmed" after witnessing the abuse of elderly and vulnerable people.
Three carers are on trial at Preston Crown Court; all deny the ill-treatment or neglect of residents.
But Mrs Greenland said she saw team leader Carol Moore slap one elderly man across the face because his wife had complained about the lack of activities for residents.
"Carol was slagging his wife off for making the complaint. I remember there being a bit of a "bitch" going on. She (Ms Moore) said: 'I will get my own back!' She went round the back of his chair and slapped him on the face," said Mrs Greenland.
Carol Moore arriving at court "He looked shocked and upset and was looking around to see who had hit him."
From the witness box, the cleaner said she had complained after also seeing two male members of staff in bed with another male resident.
"When they (the staff) saw me they shouted: "**** off you pervert!" It was sickening," she told the jury.
The cleaner also told the court she had seen another carer stamp on a resident's foot.
The court was told that the alleged abusers were suspended after Mrs Greenland complained to managers.
They were re-instated a few weeks later.
The trial continues.
