Keeley Coleman managed The Old Vicarage Care Home

An award-nominated Nottinghamshire care home manager abused the trust of residents and staff to steal more than £55,000 to buy a hot tub, a car and caravan. Nottingham Crown Court was told how Keeley Coleman used bank cards belonging to two vulnerable residents and a “pooled” card for seven others which were all locked in a safe in an office.

The 48-year-old mother questioned the need for money requested from team leaders at the home to buy essential items, saying there was “not a budget” for such purchases which led to residents "relying on second hand donations”. And after being arrested and questioned said she stole the cash as she was “in debt and struggling but never intended it to escalate in the way it did”.
