Nurses steal pain medication from residents

The Middleton Journal had an article about two different employees of a nursing home, acting separately, stole narcotics from residents for years, and altered the residents' charts to make it look like residents actually received the need pain medication.  How could they not have been caught earlier?  didn't the residents complain that they were still in pain? 

Deborah Renee Richardson and Denise “Bells” Holtkamp are both accused of stealing Oxycodone from the Lebanon Country Manor nursing facility in Ohio.  Both nurses separately altered patient records so they could steal the addictive painkiller for their own use.

Both women were indicted by a Warren County Grand Jury on two counts of illegal processing of drug documents, a fourth-degree felony; two counts of theft of drugs, a fourth-degree felony; and two counts of aggravated possession of drugs, a fifth-degree felony.
