A care home worker has been banned from working in the sector after accepting a cheque for £20,000 from a resident in order to buy a new car.
Sharon Bell broke rules on accepting gifts from her wards when she took up the five-figure offer from a resident of Torrance Lodge care home in Kilmarnock.
The resident, named in public documents as AA, offered her the cheque in July 2020 so she could buy a new car with which to take him and his dog on outings.
