Frank Calcaterra's family alleges ResCare placed Tangle Coleman <br />into the home of the elderly man who was looking for someone to help take care of his wife, Jonnie. <br />1" )n Jonnie passed away in 2012, Coleman took Calcaterra to Ohio and married him. After his <br />daughters finally removed him from his home in 2014, he was broke, malnourished, and living in a <br />basement while Coleman and her mother lived upstairs. Calcaterra's family estimates Coleman <br />obtained between $1 million and $1.5 million in cash and valuables from Calcaterra, who is a wealthy <br />former funeral home owner. <br />Calcaterra's family alleges ResCare's claims about the quality of their <br />background checks and employees is false. "After Tangle finished stealing all of Frank and Jonnie's <br />money and possessions, the family was stunned to learn that at the time of her hiring Tangie was <br />wanted on two felony charges and had been convicted of two misdemeanors," the family said in a <br />court filing. "ResCare's failure to do a thorough background check... resulted in a predator being <br />planed into Frank and Jonnie's home." <br />https://www.backgroundsonline.com/blog/2015/09/care-giver-hired-despite-failed-background-check/ Page 1 of 4 <br />
