I rent a room from a woman who has Dementia and broke her hip which now requires 24/7 in home caregiving. The POA her brother hired a personal caregiver who brought with her an amazing con who made up a business name and claimed she ran an in home caregiving service. She is now giving orders and bringing 2 to 3 alleged employees in the home who have not had background checks employment checks or any of the other requirements. The brother thinks she's fantastic and doesn't realize there is no insurance workmans comp or taxes being paid and other legalities. I checked the Clark County License Bureau and Better Business Bureau to confirm she has no business license. Isn't this fraud and dangerous to an Elder to have unscreened strangers in her bedroom who are not paying taxes, paid under the table by the alleged CG service owner who is taking their money but not using it for business expenses or paying taxes. Could the patient who's bank account is paying the fraud be responsible for the taxes? How do I convince the thoroughly charmed and duped Brother who doesn't want to hear anything negative about this woman or problems in the home.
Sorry - you've already been to them, haven't you! Well. Put your questions about the registrations to them again, in writing, and ask for a formal reply in writing. Give the damning reply to your client, either in person (preferably) or anonymously.
Also, go to the websites of the organisations who do employment screening and criminal record checks. They should show you how to report someone or check out someone whose credentials you question.
Does Boss Woman have any other clients? I ask because if she has, and she's littering vulnerable elders' households across the area with unscreened, unqualified, uninsured, cash-in-hand workers, this is NOT a civil matter. See what you can discreetly find out.
So. You won't get anywhere trying to persuade him she's a menace. But you might if you warn him he is being scammed, and that it could cost him a lot more than it already has. Nobody likes to be taken for a fool *and* then held responsible for the con-artist's misdeeds.
She claimed to be licensed. You can prove for a fact that she has no licence. Print off the search result.
You can take pictures of the dirt and neglect going on.
You may be able to find a database of registered, qualified CNAs. Search for the caregivers, name by name, and screenshot the results when it says "No match."
Download information from government websites about who is liable for paying employees' taxes, etc.
Put this into an envelope, write "you are being conned" on the front, and hand it to the POA brother.
Or look for another room, and from a safe distance call in APS.
