I know quiet a few people who are caretakers. They usually work 1 to 2 hours a day helping their clients but they say they work 7-8 hours a day so they can get more money. I just don't know why there are not more safety measures to ensure people don't commit fraud. But it seems like they have never been caught for years. Does anyone know of any situation like this?
This could qualify as fraud, theft and possibly borderline abuse of a vulnerable adult.
(personal opinion here but if you are aware of the situation and allow it to continue you are just as guilty as she is)
Not all caregivers lie about the care that they give and how much they do for the person they are caring for. I had 2 of the best, most honest, loving, caring caregivers the last few months of my Husband life. Some of the ones prior to those 2 were also very good, I can honestly say that there was only 1 that was dishonest and a thief. (I think over the course of 5 years 1 out of 7 is not bad though)
And let's not forget that when someone lives with the person they are caring for the caregiving lasts 24/7, it's not an 8 hour day/40 hour work week.
