She is a relative who needs the job and is loved by my parents, but we suspect she has been stealing his controlled substance pain killers. No way to prove this at this time, but we are receiving reports from the hired caregivers of missing meds. How should we handle this?
If you're on site (or perhaps you can create a cyber log that provides you with an update each time a pill is administered), you can tighten control. That might stop the theft, if it exists.
What the story on her access - is she in your father's home or caregiving full time with supplemental help from other caregivers?
Still, I think the idea of monitoring might help clarify who the culprit is.
I'm assuming that you're ruled out your father accidentally or intentionally taking an extra pill here and there for the condition for which the pills were prescribed?
Lantz123 go to the Police and report this theft of Your Fathers pain killers and the Culpit will be caught RED HANDED.
