Nursing home manager who pocketed £2,200 is spared jail
8:49am Monday 24th December 2012 in News By Julie Magee
IN DEBT: Tracey Thompson at Bournemouth Crown Court. Picture: Sally Adams
A SHAMED nursing home manager who pocketed cash belonging to vulnerable elderly residents has been spared an immediate jail sentence.
Earlier Tracey Thompson admitted seven theft offences involving a total of around £2,200 at the Avon Cliff nursing home in Christchurch Road, Bournemouth.
The 49-year-old from Wimborne Road, Bournemouth, pleaded guilty to stealing money from residents in her care and also from her employers, helping herself to more than £1,000 worth of printer cartridges from the home which she later sold on eBay.
At a previous hearing Bournemouth magistrates were told how:
- Thompson stole £75 from Winifred Thompson
- £100 from Kenneth Markless l cash with an unknown value from Connie Fisher
- £100 from Doris Rylands
- £49 from Rachel Harris since January 1, 2010.
She also admitted taking £730 from the nursing home between January 1 and June 8, 2012 and cartridges worth £1,126 between July 28, 2011 and August 21, 2012.
In her defence, Mike Flynn said Thompson was in debt and had taken out payday loans to repay them, adding: “She is very ashamed and has been co-operative with the police.
“Unfortunately she found herself in difficulties.”
Bournemouth Crown Court heard how Thompson had been treated at St Ann’s Hospital in Poole and was currently being cared for by her doctor and the community health team.
Judge Samuel Wiggs imposed a sixmonth prison sentence, suspended for a year. Thompson will be supervised by the Probation Service for a similar period and must attend an education, training and employment programme for 15 days.

Looks as though all you need to do to avoid jail is call the Mental Health Team and say you feel ill.
Still amazes me that a company as large as Colten Care that charges over £1200 per week can not have robust systems in place to monitor residents money and even worse that there appears to be one elderly person for whom they cannot even account for the sum of money stolen.
What a joke of the judicial system. This woman is a Registered Nurse in a position of Responsibility and she has abused not only her position but also the very people she was employed to protect and help.
I wonder if the Court would have been so forgiving if it were their relatives that had been the victims of this crime.

Probably a sensible decision not to send her to jail. Sounds like she's suffering from severe depression which is a particularly nasty and debilitating illness that's not understood by anyone who's never suffered from it. Yes she was in the wrong for stealing, particularly from the vulnerable. Yes she shouldn't have got herself into debt in the first place. I'm not defending that. But perhaps it's time to stop vilifying her for a stupid error of judgement and let her move on.

Perhaps you can ask her was her breakdown due to the guilt and shame she felt from stealing the money from societies most vulnerable, the very same people she had been employed to look after? Or was her breakdown triggered by the fact she had been caught and that she was likely to be facing a prison term not to mention the embarrassment of being named and shamed?

No need to repay all the money at all, nice fat lump sum of public money still paid at end of career and absolutely no need to turn up at court as it would require physical 'restraint' (although photographed fit enough to go to a local pub) or fear being sent to prison - allegedly works for MPs?

If any of you have a total breakdown and do things that are way out of character I hope there are people out there ready to judge you and condem you!!!!!
All the good things for charity, all the times she went in at night unpaid, and the Xmas mornings she went in to see the residents at Xmas and all the other good stuff she did.... none of that is mentioned!! Nor is the bullying and harrasement she suffered at work from certain people mentioned, and it was this that tipped her over the edge!!
What she did is not the real Tracey Thompson, and those who know her know this.. Bullying and pay day loans are to blame a heck of a lot. This lady is one of the kindest people I know. So until you know all the facts, don't judge!
We all do things that are wrong. She admitted her crimes, pleaded guilty and now takes her punishment!! She lost her home, job, her nursing registration..and her self respect! And she feels so bad for what she has done.
Have you ever tried to get into St Anne's.... trust me, it's not easy!! And if you have never suffered from depression... you are very lucky. I have, and it is one if the worst feelings out, as it a mental illness not a physical one, so people don't understand it. I know what she had been through, so till you know all the facts.... Stop judging!!!

Has it occurred to you that perhaps she just hasn't been caught till now.
As for all those unpaid shifts, visiting residents on Xmas day and helping out all the time lets remember firstly she was a manager and on a salary of at least £38k plus it's part of the job. Let's then not forget that most offenders appear very trustworthy. Look at the publican who just stole £29000 from the Christmas Fund. It's always the ones you trust!
I think she is a disgrace to her profession and the sentence she has been handed is a disgrace to the Police and CPS who worked to get this case to court. It's people like you who defend these criminals that try to justify there crimes.

this lady abused her position in the most hideous way. I know for certain that she stole far more than she admitted to Police in order to reduce the severity of her offence. The Colten Care Senior Management Team also made promises to victims that they were aware of the offences and would ensure they would be compensated for any loss. They failed to honour this and have also failed to pursue any claims or reassure or support these victims. Absolutely disgraceful!

She was caught out eventually that is the raeson the thefts stopped. Assuming her illness is genuine, she should at least be honest and own up to the other thefts, some of considerable value. The Colten Care Management must take some responsibility. The number of losses at thus home over the recent years should have rung alarm bells. The handling by CC Mgt and lack of compensation to other victims is almost as despicable as the thefts bt Tracey Thompson themselves. I can assure you that those victims feel very angry and upset and unable to fight their corner. You are correct, I don't know everything but I am sure of the comments I have made to be true.

t.south wrote:t.south, I appreciate your loyalty, but I have been made aware of many cases of personal items "going missing" and being reported directly to her (Thompson) which did not go any further, and of course were not followed up. Just talk to members of staff and some of the residents that have had items stolen- in some cases worth not only a few thousand pounds EACH but of huge sentimental value and irreplaceable. She got caught cos once too many times she kept the report of an item of personal jewellery to herself and hoped it would be forgotten.....but it wasn't and the Police finally called in. These thefts would have continued had she not been stopped. I think you will find that that the Police did not have sufficient evidence to prove she had stolen other items and they could not be recovered (sold) and she didn't own up so it would have been very difficult to prove and probably not have made a great difference to the prosecution outcome. This does not of course offer any closure or feeling of justice for the many victims. I think you know this to be true, even if difficult to stomach. As said before, despite her illness and the despicable thefts she should at least be honest and own up to ALL the crimes so a line can be drawn. I still maintain that the Colten Care Mgt should do the honest thing and investigate thoroughly and compensate those victims not mentioned in the case. The phrase "tip of the ice berg" applies here.

I do also consider the Colten Care Senior Mgt are also seriously lacking in their dealing with the other victims at this Home and this crime should not be forgotten and those involved allowed to brush it under the carpet.
I have been following this with intrest as my mother is in that home, a lot of thing of hers have gone missing over the years always reported to the manager Tracy Thompson,yes she put her hands up when found out but i for one think the stealing had been going on for a number of years,i think she has got off with smacked wrists,i have a friend who is a private dectective and with his help have been looking into a lot of things,to those of her family inform her that Champane 1999 is known and noted & questions are still being asked.

she should have been sent to prison - stealing from the elderly is just such a low scumbag thing to do.
I am afraid there is no excuse for this womans actions - if she was related to me I'd disown her not make excuses !!!!

She seems happy enough now.
Looks as though all you need to do to avoid jail is call the Mental Health Team and say you feel ill.
Still amazes me that a company as large as Colten Care that charges over £1200 per week can not have robust systems in place to monitor residents money and even worse that there appears to be one elderly person for whom they cannot even account for the sum of money stolen.
What a joke of the judicial system. This woman is a Registered Nurse in a position of Responsibility and she has abused not only her position but also the very people she was employed to protect and help.
I wonder if the Court would have been so forgiving if it were their relatives that had been the victims of this crime.
