Njorge was in court this morning for a pre-trial hearing.
The Department of Children and Families says it has investigated eight allegations of abuse at Regents Park in the past year, though none have been verified.
Of those eight reports, four showed no findings, but four had some findings, including inadequate supervision of patients.
Regents Park Spokesperson Tom Groesbeck confirmed Njorge was employed at the nursing home, and that the care facility is cooperating with law enforcement on the investigation.
