❤️ A MESSAGE TO FAMILIES: PLEASE PROTECT OUR ELDERLY. ❤️
This is a subject that is very near and dear to my heart, and one I feel needs to be addressed.
As a small community, we need to look out for one another, especially our elderly loved ones and those living with dementia or memory loss.
Sadly, there are situations where vulnerable seniors are being taken advantage of financially by people who are supposed to be there to care for them. Money, bank accounts, property, land, and personal belongings should NEVER become an opportunity for someone to take advantage of a person who trusts them.
PLEASE, FAMILIES, BE AWARE:
• Caregivers should never use their position to gain access to or control a client’s finances.
• Never allow a caregiver to borrow money, ask for gifts, become involved in property transactions, or pressure a patient into financial decisions.
• Keep bank accounts, checkbooks, debit cards, passwords, legal documents, and property records secure.
• Have trusted family members involved in overseeing financial and legal matters.
• If something doesn’t feel right, don’t ignore it. Ask questions and seek help.
A person living with dementia may not always recognize when someone is taking advantage of them. That makes it even more important for the people around them to be their voice and their protection.
At TLC Home Care Companions, we believe caregiving is a position of TRUST. We are invited into someone’s home, into their personal lives, and into some of their most vulnerable moments. That privilege should NEVER be abused.
There is a difference between caring for someone’s needs and taking advantage of their trust.
Our elderly population worked hard their entire lives. They deserve to enjoy their golden years with peace, security, and dignity.
Please check on your loved ones. Ask questions. Pay attention. And above all, protect them.
Let’s be a community that stands up for our elderly instead of turning a blind eye.
With love and concern for our community,
❤️ TLC Home Care Companions LLC
Because everyone deserves a little TLC.
