A certified nursing assistant who worked in multiple senior care facilities across Washington County is facing a slate of felony charges for allegedly financially exploiting elderly residents, according to police.
The Forest Grove Police Department, working with the Beaverton Police Department and the Washington County District Attorney’s Office, is investigating Willow McCullough, who authorities say is tied to multiple cases of financial abuse.
Investigators say the alleged conduct spans several assisted-living and senior care facilities in Forest Grove, Beaverton and the surrounding area, where McCullough was employed as a nursing assistant.
Court records show at least six victims have been identified, and authorities believe there may be more.
McCullough faces 22 charges across two separate cases, including six counts of identity theft, three counts of aggravated identity theft and six counts of fraudulent use of a credit card, as well as three counts of first-degree theft, one count of aggravated first-degree theft and three counts of second-degree theft.
Officials are asking anyone who believes they or a family member may have been affected to come forward. Reports can be made through Oregon’s Adult Protective Services hotline at 855-503-7233 or by contacting local law enforcement. Forest Grove investigators can be reached at 503-992-3260.
