Susan Turpin of Hillsboro found herself in a situation last summer that she had never dreamed would happen. Both of her elderly parents suddenly became dependent upon her.

"All I could think of was how could someone do something like that to someone elderly and fragile," said Michelle Bolin, a home care worker. Michelle's quick action helped to apprehend a thief who stole over $100 from her client in a Cottage Grove Wal Mart. "It is very upsetting to think someone would take advantage of someone like that," she said. Michelle was recently honored by the Oregon Home Care Commission for her heroic actions that led to an arrest and the return of the stolen money to her client.
