A Detroit woman will face embezzlement charges for allegedly stealing money from her mother and brother while they lived in nursing homes, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced. Kim Carter, 41, faces two counts of embezzlement from a vulnerable adult over $1,000 and under $20,000, felonies punishable by five years and/or $10,000 each. Carter was guardian for her mother, who lived in Alpha Manor Nursing Home in Detroit. It is alleged that Carter used her position as guardian to spend more than $17,000 from her mother’s bank accounts on items not related to her mother while also not paying for her mother’s care at the nursing home. Carter’s brother lived in Boulevard Manor Nursing Home in Detroit and Carter was his social security representative payee. It is alleged she used her position as her mother’s guardian to access her brother’s bank accounts and spend more than $6,000 from his accounts on items not related to him or his care.
