A former nursing home employee has been sent to jail for fraud and exploitation of the elderly.
State prosecutors say Heather Whitehouse worked at The Arbors residential care home in Shelburne, where she stole jewelry and credit cards from vulnerable adults she cared for, mostly people suffering from memory disorders.
Whitehouse was sentenced to serve six months in jail.

Six months? That's a laugh.
6 months in jail is a just sentence for a caregiver (in this case a care TAKER)? where is the stuff she stole? where will Heather Whitehouse be in 6 months? stealing from others? shame on you for the soft punishment the injustice of the justice system
And what about the nursing home that likely didn't do a background check on Whitehouse?
Or that ignored the complaints against her until the evidence was overwhelming?
The nursing home is accountable for its employees and should repay the victims.
Good one, Jerry -- Heahter Whitehouse was a careTAKER!
A leopard can't change its spots. Whitehouse will be back in business within the year.
Beware.
Right, Norma
What about the nursing home? Did it pay back those victims?
