Arrested for Operating Unlicensed Care Facilities

Mary Alexander, 43, is currently under arrest for operating an unlicensed care facility, but investigators say more charges and more arrests could be on the way

"There is a lot of a information, documentation, evidence for us to look through and people to speak with," said investigator Andrea Chilton.

Investigators say clients would drop their patients off at a very professional looking facility, but as soon as those family and friends left, the patients were taken out the back door and to another place down the road.

Investigators say Alexander used as many as five other houses, each within 10 minutes of her home. The problem is those extra patients were taken care of by unlicensed providers unable to provide the type of care patients needed.

The facility was busted after authorities received complaints and tips to an elderly abuse hotline.

Apparently when people came to pick patients up, many times they weren't there.

I wonder how many calls and tips happened before action was taken.

This is a fine example of the corruption that is going on with our elderly who cannot stand up for themselves!
