The Georgia Attorney General’s Office announced this week that the Medicaid Fraud and Patient Protection Division has obtained a new indictment in Chatham County charging Latisha Blake-Ulmer, 50, of Savannah, with three counts of Neglect of a Disabled Adult.
Case Summary
As asserted in the indictment, Ulmer managed and cared for disabled adults in a group home located in Savannah. On multiple occasions, the defendant is alleged to have locked residents outside of the home without adequate clothing or protection from adverse weather. As further asserted in the indictment, in another incident, one of the residents spent several days with severe bruising on his upper body and a fractured collarbone, which were ignored, all while under Ulmer’s custody and control.
This case was investigated by the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Patient Protection Division after receiving a complaint from the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities.
Chatham County Indictment
On Sept. 23, 2026, the Attorney General’s Medicaid Fraud and Patient Protection Division presented evidence to a Chatham County Grand Jury, resulting in the indictment* of Latisha Blake-Ulmer.
Specifically, the defendant is facing the following charges:
- 3 counts of Neglect of a Disabled Adult
*Members of the public should keep in mind that indictments contain only allegations against the individual against whom the indictment is sought. A defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and it will be the government’s burden at trial to prove the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the allegations contained in the indictment.
