FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. — A home health aide has been arrested for allegedly stealing from a senior resident in Palm Coast.
The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office (FCSO) reported that Katie Swain, 32, is charged with fraudulent use of personal identification information and grand theft from a person over 65 years of age.
According to authorities, in December 2025, a resident at HarborChase of Palm Coast noticed multiple unauthorized transactions on his bank statement and reported that his wallet was missing cash and his debit card.
FCSO’s investigation revealed that Swain, a new hire at the facility and the victim’s care provider, had used the resident’s debit card for over $660 in fraudulent purchases and stole $30 in cash.
Swain was arrested on Wednesday and later released on a $10,000 bond.
Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly commented, “This woman abused her position of trust and authority as a home health aide… She stole from a senior that trusted her and used his debit card as her own.”
