SKOKIE, Ill. — Two former Chicago nursing
home workers have been charged with bilking a 98-year-old woman with
dementia out of more than $700,000.
A Cook County state's
attorney's office spokeswoman said Monday that Tameeka Wolfe and
Christina Wright were each charged with one felony count of financial
exploitation of an elderly person.
The charges stem from an
investigation into allegations that employees at Symphony Residences of
Lincoln Park cashed checks, made ATM withdrawals and transferred money
from several of Grace Watanabe's bank accounts for about a year. Cook
County Public Guardian Charles Golbert took emergency custody of the
woman and removed her from the facility last year.
Bond for Wolfe and Wright as set at $20,000
each, with each barred from unsupervised contact with seniors. Neither
could be immediately be reached for comment.
