The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) announced that an administrator of Donna Kay Rest Home, located in Worcester, was indicted in connection with a scheme to steal more than $220,000 from the rest home and its elderly residents. Luiza Wade, age 43, of Woonsocket, Rhode Island, was indicted by a Worcester County Grand Jury on June 20, 2024. The Defendant was charged with four counts of Larceny Over $250 from a Person 60 Years or Older or Disabled, four counts of Larceny Over $1,200, two counts of Forgery, one count of False Entry in Corporate Books, and one count of Tax Evasion. The AGO alleges that Wade engaged in a scheme in which she deposited at least $220,000 of funds belonging to the Donna Kay Rest Home and over forty of its residents into her personal bank accounts between June 2018 and May 2021. The AGO further alleges that Wade forged resident signatures as part of this scheme and failed to report any of the money as income on her Massachusetts tax returns.
