If More People Were Honest, You Wouldn't Need background checks….
Why perform an Elder Care Background Check?
Since people are not always upfront about their past, having access to
information is critical in making the right decisions.
AssetSearchPros.com will bring billions of records right to your
fingertips. Whether it's criminal history reports, sex offender
searches, or anything in between, we have got your Elder Care
Background Check covered.
Trust… but Always Verify
If you are hiring someone for Home Health care to take care of your parents or grandparents, don’t you want to know who they really are and if they have had questionable behavior in their past?
For the price of a few Latte's you can run an Elder Care background check on the new caregiver the agency is sending over, and have the Peace of Mind to know your loved one is safe.
Don’t take chances with the safety of your parents!
You MUST investigate the criminal, sex offender and driving background of any home health care employee hired to care for your parents or grandparents. Many criminals use the eldercare provider cover to abduct, molest, and/or abuse, rob and deceive the person they are taking care of. If the caregiver is going to transport your loved one, be certain their driving record is clean. It is very essential to confirm the education, training, and honesty of the caregiver.
A caregiver convicted of theft should NOT
have access to your home and valuable possessions, just as a sex
offender should NEVER be alone with your children
or elderly women.

But, because no federal standards or regulations exist for
performing eldercare background checks for home health care aides and
because state regulations are generally weak and vary widely, the
industry is plagued with corruption and attracts opportunistic
predators. In many instances, simple background checks aren’t
being done at all—or, in the Trevino case, all that
thoroughly by the agencies. The majority of home health care workers
providing elder care may be ethical and caring, but reports of fraud,
theft, forgery and physical and psychological abuse against elders by
home health care aides are increasing. In California, where Trevino was
prosecuted and convicted, nurses and other medical professionals sent
by agencies to provide home health care are required to have a license,
but home health care aides, who assist with non-medical personal care,
including bathing and feeding, are not.
During the trial, it was revealed that Trevino had served time in
prison for child abuse, receiving stolen property and forging checks.
She hadn’t revealed her criminal history to Visiting Angels,
which was not named in the criminal proceedings because home
health-care agencies are only required by state law to check employee
backgrounds for the past seven years (Trevino’s prior
convictions had occurred more than seven years before her hire).
Trevino eventually admitted stealing the family’s home and
was sentenced to eight years in prison. Holman, who knew about the
fraud, was sentenced to two years in prison.”
