According to investigators, the man lived at Hillside Nursing home, where Lloyd worked. In 2004, the man's family consented to moving the him from the nursing home to Lloyd's home and was placed in her care.
The man had a history of stroke, partial paralysis, suffered from a seizure disorder and was bedbound.
Lloyd became the representative for the man, and collected his monthly Social Security check. The money was to be used only for the man's personal care and his share of the rent.
In September, 2007, New Castle County Police received a call that the man had been left alone. At the home, police found the man by himself inside the dirty house with no electricity and dog feces on the floor. Adult Protective Services was notified and became involved in the case.
In April, 2008, the man was admitted to Christiana Hospital for bedsores.
Then, in May 2008, police were called to let APS workers into a home Lloyd claimed to be living. They found the man on a hospital bed with no sheets, with debris and piles of food on the floor. Again, the man was admitted to the hospital for treatment of bedsores. It was at his point the man was removed from Lloyd's care.
After an investigation, police found that the money Lloyd was collecting from the Social Security paytments exceeded the amount she needed. They also say Lloyd continued to collect the man's Social Security even after he was taken out of her care.
