An Ohio woman who worked at a nursing home stands accused of stealing more than $300,000 from dozens of the home's residents, according to police. An extensive investigation revealed Christina Williams, 51, drained more than 50 residents' accounts of funds during a theft that spanned several years at Venetian Gardens in Loveland, the Goshen Township Police Department said in a Thursday, February 12, news release. Williams, of Colerain, was formerly employed as the nursing home's business office manager, according to police. Williams was arrested following a tip received in May 2025 about "a former employee suspected of stealing money from resident accounts," police said. Last week, a grand jury in Clermont County indicted Williams on 56 separate counts of felony theft, according to authorities. It was not currently clear whether Williams had retained an attorney following her arrest or whether she entered any pleas. The investigation into the theft at Venetian Gardens was led by Goshen Detective-Sergeant Chris McMillan, who "spent hundreds of hours" helping more than 50 nursing home residents who had their money stolen, according to police.

"His persistence, attention to detail, and commitment to the victims were instrumental in advancing this case," the police department added. Venetian Gardens staff were also cooperative with police during the investigation, according to authorities. Venetian Gardens did not immediately respond to an inquiry and a request for comment from Us Weekly on Friday, February 13. The nursing home is a 24/7 facility that provides short-term and long-term care for residents, according to the facility's website. It can house 99 residents and offers a range of services, including "skilled nursing care, physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, IV therapy," and memory care. In Ohio, the potential penalties for a theft conviction depend on how much was stolen in a particular case, according to Patituce & Associates, an Ohio-based criminal defense law firm. When the theft involves more than $150,000 taken, that would fall under the category of aggravated theft, the law firm says online. If the amount stolen is more than $150,000 but below $750,000, the theft would be considered a third-degree felony punishable by up to three years in prison following a conviction, according to the law firm. A defendant could also face fines up to $10,000. The Goshen Township Police Department said that officers are continuing to investigate the alleged theft at Venetian Gardens.
