Given the Memorial Day Holiday, I guess it was sort of sickenly ironic that I saw a story regarding the financial exploitation of a patient in a Florida VA nursing facility today.
After stealing a credit card from an 89-year-old resident at Haley’s Cove and heading out for a shopping spree, Tampa police arrested Maxima Jackson.
