Elderly Care

Recent media coverage of the shocking consequences of neglect and abuse in nursing homes have highlighted the importance of background screening of staff involved in care of the elderly. Those wishing to avoid nursing homes find that the alternative - the in-home assistance industry - is also poorly regulated, with equally high opportunities for neglect and abuse.

Local and overseas media reports also highlight the growing number of cases where caregivers take advantage of the elderly and subject them to abuse, neglect or fraud. Without pre-employment screening, employees with criminal records or questionable credentials can easily slip through the cracks.

Checks include:
• Police Vetting
• Criminal & Driving Conviction History Search
• Personal Credit Check
• Accident Compensation History
