In a society that should offer unwavering support and protection for its senior citizens, it is disheartening to witness instances of financial abuse perpetrated by unregulated private carers. As a reputable and caring institution dedicated to the well-being of our elderly community, Executive carers Ltd is outraged by this unacceptable trend and is taking decisive action to address it.
Seniors, during moments of vulnerability, deserve nothing less than comprehensive protection and support from all forms of exploitation, particularly financial abuse. It is imperative that our elderly population feels safe and secure in their interactions with caregivers, and any violation of that trust is utterly reprehensible.
Executive Carers Ltd which is regulated by the Care Quality Commission and proudly holds a rating of GOOD, is committed to exceeding regulatory standards in ensuring the safety and dignity of our elderly clients. In light of recent events, we are intensifying our efforts by implementing extensive fraud training for our entire team.
The devastating impact of financial fraud cannot be overstated. It has the potential to obliterate life savings, compromise health, and strip away independence. We refuse to stand idly by while our seniors are subjected to such egregious violations of their rights and well-being.
By equipping our staff with the knowledge and skills necessary to detect and prevent fraud, we are reaffirming our unwavering dedication to safeguarding the interests of our elderly community members. Through ongoing education and vigilance, we are determined to create an environment where our seniors feel valued, respected, and protected.
Sara Bennett the owner of Executive Carers Ltd is committed to combating financial exploitation in the elderly. Almost 43% of the elderly aged 65 and over are more likely to be a victim of fraud than domestic burglary….all of our staff are enhanced DBS checked and stringent references pursued.
“I urge the families of Lichfield to be mindful of ‘private caregivers’ for their loved ones. This is a genuine concern when literally someone can befriend a vulnerable individual and coerce them into parting with their life savings.”
I would urge other care providers in the area to join us in this crucial endeavour. Together, we can work towards eradicating financial abuse and ensuring that our seniors receive the care and support they rightfully deserve.
