A nursing home worker in Acworth forged nearly $17,000 in checks intended for a resident’s bills and health expenses and used them for personal use, according to an arrest warrant.

Mary Nelle Foss is out of jail on a $35,000 bond a week after her arrest, according to jail records. Foss faces exploitation of an elderly person, third and fourth degree forgery and theft charges.
