Protect your loved one from fraud and financial abuse by hiring a pre-screened caregiver from a home care agency.
In a recent news article posted on September 27, 2014, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) announced that “elder abuse is on the rise,” most commonly in the form of financial abuse. Only 4% of fraud cases get reported out of 5 million seniors who are victimized each year. Scammers pose as fraudulent private caregivers when they post advertisements on various print and online sites. The elderly have no way of investigating private caregivers’ backgrounds, assessing their characters, or truly knowing their work ethics. These predators have access to a score of seniors’ information when they purchase a “sucker list” from companies that solicit personal information through false contests, like winning an “all-expense paid vacation.”
To protect against elder abuse and fraud, it is vitally important to hire a highly skilled caregiver who is already pre-screened and pre-qualified by caregiver agencies in Mesa, AZ, and the nearby communities that have done the hard work for you, like criminal background checks, reference verification, and character screening. When you contact a reputable home care agency like Endeavor Home Care, you have the option of signing up for service over the phone or coming in person to meet the professional staff members for yourself.
