LOVELAND, Colo. — A Greeley man who worked at several senior living and care facilities across the state was arrested for alleged sexual assault of an at-risk person.

The Loveland Police Department said its investigation began on July 27 after an officer was dispatched to help another agency at a Loveland care facility in the 2100 block of South Garfield Avenue. The officer learned that a staff member reportedly saw a 21-year-old caregiver “engaged in suspicious activity” with a 78-year-old resident.

The caregiver was fired from the facility shortly thereafter, according to Loveland PD. The facility was also “completely cooperative” throughout the investigation, according to the police department.

Investigators conducted several interviews over the course of the next several weeks, and the case was assigned to Loveland PD’s Criminal Investigation Division on Sept. 27.

McCormick was also arrested for two counts of criminal attempt, a sentence enhancer. A judge set his bond at $250,000.

Loveland PD said McCormick worked in the medical caregiving field for the past three years. He previously worked at the following facilities:

The three facilities have been contacted by Loveland PD.
