Caregiver sentenced for stealing from disabled patients

A St. Mary’s County woman was sentenced to two years in prison for stealing money from developmentally disabled patients at an Eastern shore facility.

Anita Nelson, 42, of Great Mills pleaded guilty to a charge that she stole personal funds from patients at Bay Community Support Services (Bay-CSS), a residential facility that cares for people with intellectual and physical challenges. In addition to providing housing, Bay-CSS manages personal funds for some of their residents. Nelson was responsible for providing oversight of operations at several of Bay-CSS’s residential homes.

It takes special people to care well for this population. Sadly, she wasn't one of them.
