Heights on Huebner (San Antonio, TX) — Business Office Manager Steals $300K+ from Resident Trust Accounts (2023)

Outcome: Robyn Nicole Calica, business office manager at Heights on Huebner in San Antonio, Texas, was sentenced to ten years in prison after stealing over $300,000 from resident trust accounts and Medicaid recipients' personal bank accounts.

Calica worked as the business office manager at Heights on Huebner, a nursing facility in San Antonio, Texas. In her role, she had access to resident trust funds — money held on behalf of residents for personal expenses. She misappropriated funds from both the facility's resident trust account and from individual Medicaid recipients' personal bank accounts, stealing over $300,000.

Resident trust funds are a protected account category under federal and state nursing home regulations. Facilities are required to maintain separate trust accounts for residents, provide residents with regular account statements, and ensure that funds are used only for residents' benefit with proper authorization. Calica exploited her privileged access to these accounts over an extended period. The Texas Attorney General's Medicaid Fraud Control Unit prosecuted the case, resulting in a ten-year prison sentence on March 20, 2023.
