Tuscaloosa Woman Accused of Stealing from Nursing Home Residents
A Tuscaloosa woman has been arrested and accused of stealing from more than two dozen residents of a local nursing home, Attorney General Steve Marshall announced this week.
In a press release, Marshall said 52-year-old Tameko H. Green of Tuscaloosawas working as the financial officer of a home for the elderly, and was responsible for maintaining the facility’s patient trust fund used to pay for residents’ daily needs.
Marshall said Green worked at the facility for 18 years, and the Alabama Department of Public Health had asked the Attorney General to look into the matter through the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit.
Marshall said the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit is primarily funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General.
"The investigation determined that, between January 2023 and September 2025, Green stole at least $3,500 from 25 residents," Marshall wrote. "Green is charged with one count of Theft of Property First Degree, a class B felony punishable by 2 to 20 years’ imprisonment and a fine of up to $30,000. Green surrendered at the Tuscaloosa County Jail on February 23rd and was released on a $5,000 bond."
