Apparently, a history of criminal financial behavior wasn’t enough to discourage the owners of Waterbook Assisted Living from hiring Katonia Davis as a CNA at their facility— because she wasn’t going to be handling any of the finances at the facility.
While Davis was apparently quickly removed from her position by facility administrators and will face criminal charges, this type of incident again demonstrates that need for facilities to screen all job applicants and use common sense before placing an employee with a suspect background into an environment where they will have access to particularly vulnerable patients.
