When Credential Fraud Enters Senior Care, Everyone Loses

Earlier this month, Shannon Nicole Womack, 39, was charged with posing as a licensed nurse—using multiple aliases to secure positions in nursing and rehabilitation facilities across Pennsylvania.

She wasn’t licensed.
She wasn’t qualified.
But she was still hired – again and again – into roles of serious responsibility and trust.

This case is disturbing, but unfortunately, it’s not unique. It reflects a broader issue in the senior care industry: inconsistent employee screening practices that leave room for serious lapses in safety and accountability.

At C-Screen, we believe that both families and funders have a right to know how thoroughly care providers vet their employees—before harm occurs, not after.

That’s why we developed the C-Screen Rating: a clear, independent assessment of how rigorously providers verify the people they hire.

A C-Screen Rating helps answer essential questions:

• Are licenses and credentials properly verified?

• Are identity aliases and possible fraud checked?

• How consistently are background and exclusion checks performed?

In a field where trust is everything, transparency matters.
Stronger screening doesn’t just prevent fraud—it protects lives.

It’s time to close the screening gap in senior care. We’re here to help make that possible.
