The caregiver industry attracts more parasites than any other segment of healthcare delivery.
My wife had an experience with her grandparent years ago that put us both on skeptical footing. An aid had been systematically removing collectables (eastern jade art) and a couple of cheap cameras forced local Police to act.
Some people are scum. Never again.
There is no mention of what the father needed or actually willed to happen to insure he received the needed care.
The daughter has apparently actually abandoned him to the care giver
“Yep, daughter is a dipshit. There’s so many ways to prevent this and apparently she was too busy to do diligence in her father’s best interest.”
Agree, as soon as my mother’s health declined, my sibling and I set up medical and financial power of attorney. We monitor our mother’s bank and credit card accounts, and I also installed cameras in the house.
When my MIL was passing in an upscale senior facility in Ventura, CA, DH spent as much time as possible with her.
She died during the night between Friday and Saturday. When Hubby got there first thing Saturday, all of her jewelry was gone. When he left on Friday night, she was wearing her diamond rings. (I know she shouldn’t have, but they were important to her, so ...) At 6 a.m. Saturday they were missing — as well as the jewelry in her dresser.
DH raised hell and asked where her stuff was and, of course, nobody knew. Hubby filed a police report, but nothing was found. My instinct is that the thief was her Hospice person; I always had a hinky feeling about her. Hubby and I both think it’s very possible that it was the administrator of the facility. He displayed conspicuous consumption relative to his position.
It happened during the night in a locked and secure building, so it had to be an inside job.
I suggest that if anyone has loved ones in a facility like this, surreptitiously plant nanny cams in the room(s).
When my mother inlaw got sick a home health care aide was hired to help take care of her. MIL passed and caregiver kept calling FIL asking for money. For over 9 years she has been after him for weekly money. His memory has gotten so bad he couldn’t remember the last time he went to the bank so former home health aide was getting 500-600 twice a week.
Recently the father in law broke his hip and is now in assisted living. All money cut off from the grifter. Oh did she cry!!
A story of theft as old as time.
