In May of this year Corvan pleaded guilty to seven charges against four victims.
The court heard these included a video of a patient in the bath, another of a patient in bed and another with her nose almost touching one of the patients.
On Monday, the judge said that although the offending was not physical in nature, it was a “serious breach of trust”.
“Each family who placed a love one in care as a last resort expects them to be treated with respect and dignity,” he said.
He handed down a sentence of two years probation and 100 hours community service for seven counts of ill treatments of patients under the Mental Health Order (NI) 1986.
“The public must have confidence in those who provide care,” he said.
Outside the court, Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) Det Ch Insp Claire McDonald said: “Corvan exploited their vulnerabilities, specifically their lack of capacity and communication for her own entertainment.
“Today her actions are proven criminal, in the first case of its kind for Northern Ireland.”
The PSNI said it is using this sentencing as an example for people in positions of trust with vulnerable people to be deterred from ever taking advantage of someone in their care this way.
