Legal Question in Elder Law in California
Yesterday I wrote down my case about other caregiver asked money $150.000 to the client "A" (89 year old ). she already get that large money from "A", and i take a picture the receipt of $150.000 check from the check book (the caregiver forgot to bring the check book with her). That caregiver hold the "A" check book, ATM/credit card and know all about "A" identity (working as a caregiver but her job beyond of her position as a caregiver). Not only that, one day "A" gave gold jewelry to her ("A" told me because that caregiver like a gold). On Nov 2010, "A" missing her diamond ring 3.5 carat and 2 gold ring at home and she said total value of that jewelry can be $100.000-150.000. That elderly don't have kids and family. only have 2 cousin (only come once a while). also, "A" have 1 sister "B" (94 year old) with her who always pain on her hip surgery, and that care giver asked medicine from her family who is a DR to prescribe narcotic drug "OXICODONE" for pain. But "B" have her own DR never gave her "OXICODONE". I would like to report to the Adult Protective Agency orange county. But i worry if that caregiver will harassing me or her big family try to follow me. she know my other work place, and phone number. what should i do if that happen. that caregiver hired me in the mid of Dec and she told me, i don't have to come back work next week. because she want all her family working for "A" house.
Thank you.

As said earlier, if anyone believes there is financial or physical elder abuse they are morally obligated to report it to police and appropriate agencies.
