Delhi, Ohio police say that Erin Chandler "pretended" to be from Post Acute nursing home when she contacted the facility's on-call temp service agency in an effort "to cancel" the weekend staffing services for dozens of residents. Authorities believe that she wanted to disrupt the facility's "day-to-day operations" as a way to damage the "administrator's credibility" after Ms. Chandler was put on suspension. Fortunately, an aide who was told not to come in to work, thwarted Ms. Chandler's scheme. After being told she was removed the schedule, the aide contacted the nursing home directly to inquire as to why sh was called off. Thanks to her quick-action, this aide may have prevented the abuse and neglect of many residents living at the facility. Following her arrest, Ms. Chandler has denied all allegations and has since been "released on her own recognizance."
