The Attorney General’s Office (AGO) announced that Kaylie Giberson, of Springfield, pleaded guilty to stealing more than $40,000 from elderly nursing home victims and her employer, including by using her former role as a Medicaid consultant to steal victims’ financial information. As a result of the plea, Giberson was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in the Hampden County House of Correction, suspended for five years, and sentenced to five years of probation. As part of her probation, Giberson has been ordered to pay more than $40,000 in restitution to the victims, have no contact with the victims and witnesses, refrain from all Power of Attorney and Fiduciary work, and refrain from working or volunteering with elders or in any healthcare setting.
The AGO alleged that, since at least 2022, while employed as a Springfield-based Medicaid consultant, Giberson engaged in a scheme to steal money from at least seven elderly residents of various nursing homes, her employer, and a local bank. According to the AGO’s allegations, Giberson used her role as a Medicaid consultant to obtain access to nursing home residents’ financial information to steal money from victims. Giberson allegedly wrote false checks from her victims to herself, often in the sum of tens of thousands of dollars; used the debit cards of multiple victims to make personal purchases without their knowledge; and forged multiple signatures to grant herself a false durable power of attorney, which she used to access and steal from at least one victim’s bank account. Additionally, the AGO alleged that, during Giberson’s employment with a Medicaid consulting company, she used the company’s credit card to complete unauthorized online retail purchases that were delivered to her residential address and intended for her personal use. Giberson’s employment with the Medicaid consulting company was ultimately terminated.
