A Nova Scotia woman is calling for better oversight after a personal care worker allegedly robbed her 62-year-old sister in her own home.
A Nova Scotia family is calling for better oversight of home care workers after their sister, an ALS patient, was allegedly robbed by a hired caregiver. RCMP charged the caregiver with fraud for allegedly using the patient's credit and debit cards without her knowledge. This case is one of two fraud cases in Nova Scotia involving home care workers accused of stealing from ALS patients. Advocates are highlighting the lack of regulation for continuing care assistants in the province and the need for improved awareness and preventative measures when hiring private caregivers.
