Care Home Nurse Siphons $1,026,000 From Elderly Woman, Splurges on Cosmetic Surgery, Motorhome and More

A care home nurse in Wales has been struck off after a disciplinary panel found she took advantage of a 99-year-old resident and obtained her £400,000 ($533,000) house. Rebecca Louise Burwood, the deputy manager at Bryn Yr Haul Care Home in Mold, Wales, used her position over the woman for her own personal and financial gain between 2017 and 2023, says the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). Burwood knew the woman before she entered the home and arranged her move there in March of 2018. Two months later, Burwood was registered as the resident’s lasting power of attorney for her money and property, along with a friend who was the woman’s former neighbor. The panel found Burwood acted dishonestly by not telling the care home that she held that power.
