Beschreibung

Do you know if your trusted caregiver is ripping off your parents? What can you do to protect your loved ones? How can you find the best qualified caregiver? Families struggled to find dependable, trusted care. These true stories are but a glimpse that exposes fraud and manipulation by unscrupulous caregivers. Through these stories, you will learn to identify subtle hints that expose a dishonest caregiver. You'll discover Resources, tips on hiring and managing your caregiver and some basic estate planning questions are included. More than $37 billion is stolen each year because of the financial exploitation of seniors, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Better regulation is needed for in-home care agencies. Some states don't require caregivers to be fingerprinted, background-checking and/or drug-tested! Who can you trust? Agencies charge their clients around $20 per hour but only pay caregivers $12 per hour. Why would a caregiver want to take that job when they can get $15 per hour in a different industry? Raising the bar on caregivers will raise the bar on the quality of care.

I am like You. Working my career, taking care of my family, and happened to live near my parents. A crisis happened! My dad broke his hip. I did what most of us "adult children" would do. I was referred to a Home Care Agency and my dad contracted with them for their services. It has been a 6 year Nightmare! Did you know, these Agencies are paid around $20-$30/hour while they pay their contract labor Minimum Wage? Then, who would want to work for minimum wage to sit with an old person in place of making at least $15/hour elsewhere??
That they may Not be Background Checked, Drug Tested, nor Fingerprinted??
This isn't only my story, but others true Horrific stories of dealing with inept, unscrupulous caregivers that you think are properly screened for employment! Through these stories, you'll learn signs to look for, questions to ask, how to better qualify an agency or an individual caregiver.

We all must make plans for our "4th Quarter/Sunset Years/Golden Years" whatever you want to call it - we don't get out of here alive! Be Aware & Be Prepared!
