Care home owner jailed for stealing from residents - Guardian
Extract:
"A care home owner who stole from residents with learning difficulties has been jailed for 12 months.
Caroline Jane Rice, 54, was entrusted with looking after the financial affairs of people living at Dove House, in Kirby Muxloe, Leicestershire, but she "looted" more than £1,200 of "pocket money", Leicester crown court was told.
Rice was previously convicted by a jury on three counts of theft and eight counts of false accounting to conceal thefts.
Judge Philip Head told her: "The public must have unqualified confidence when they entrust vulnerable people to the proprietor of a care home. I conclude that your offences were such dreadful breaches of trust that no sentence other than immediate custody is possible."
Rice was also ordered to pay £1,245 in compensation to her victims and £2,500 in legal costs."
