Adult Protective Services notified the Mebane Police Department of a possible elder adult exploitation case May 1 after the man and his daughter hired Carolina Home Stay to stay with him and assist him with daily activates.
“Through the course of the investigation, it was determined that employees working for Carolina Home Stay LLC and possibly other non-employees had exploited (the victim) for monetary gain,” according to the press release.
It is estimated that approximately $400,000 was exploited from the victim during a two-year time period, according to Alamance County warrants.

It's impossible to screen individuals, but not when they sign up with an agency. So where was the screening?
Any professional who takes advantage of the elderly should be forever barred getting any job that deals with the elderly.
Unless they are attorneys, StandUp.
Then, we should pay them $250 an hour ($4.17 per minute) and give them hundreds of cases, ignoring the fact that they are harming rather than helping their "clients."
At least, that's the way the "elder law" and "guardian ad litem" racket seem to work.
