CNA charged with exploitation of elderly after paying victim's checks to herself

by Shay Patterson

A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in Chattanooga faces several charges including exploitation of an elderly adult.

A family member of the victim told police that April Anderson, with Comfort Keepers Home Care, began caring for the victim on April 8. That same day, fraud alerts began coming through the victim's bank account for DoorDash and Giftcards.com purchases.

When the family member checked the victim's credit card, there were several more charges for the Grove St. Market that were not recognized. The card had also been uploaded to GooglePlay, which the victim did not authorize.

Police were also told about four missing money orders, totaling $800, that had been changed to pay to Anderson and endorsed by her.

Anderson was charged with theft of property under $1000, criminal simulation, fraudulent use of credit card, forgery, and exploitation of an elderly adult.
