TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (WBRC) - A former nursing home employee has been arrested after allegedly stealing money from over 20 residents, according to Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall.

Marshall’s office says that Tameko H. Green, 52, of Tuscaloosa, was employed as the facility’s financial officer. In that role, she was responsible for maintaining the patient’s trust fund, an account which was used for the residents’ daily needs. She worked there for 18 years.

An investigation was done by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud Control Unit, after a referral from the Alabama Department of Public Health. That investigation found that between January 2023 and September 2025, Green stole at least $3,500 from 25 residents.

Green is charged with first-degree theft of property, a class B felony which is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $30,000.

Green reportedly surrendered at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on Monday, Feb. 23 and was released on a $5,000 bond.

Stealing from nursing home residents or hospital patients is nothing new. Happens ALL the time, sadly.

Yep.

The worst thieves are the "court appointed guardians" but it is rarity to find a nursing home where there isn't someone stealing from the residents.

In this case, surprisingly, she did not actually steal that much. Known several cases where the thieves had ripped off hundreds of thousands.

It takes a special kind of scum to steal from the elderly the ill and the dying.

And there will be a hot spot in hell for them.

As we do it to the least of these, Jesus’ brothers.
