AAA Credit Screening Services now provides Elderly Caregiver Background Checks

HOUSTON - Sept. 11, 2019 - PRLog -- AAA Credit Screening Services has expanded their product offering to include elderly caregiver background checks.  Reports of elderly abuse in the news has highlighted a need for extra precautions when hiring someone to take care of the elderly, not just at facilities, but also in private homes.

While about 1 in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse, one study concluded that only about 1 in 14 cases of abuse are reported to authorities, meaning that over nine percent of the elderly population in America is suffering in silence.

Because many elderly patients either don't or can't speak for themselves, facilities and family members have a responsibility to do due diligence when hiring elderly caretakers to help prevent possible abuse.

Potential risks to the elderly include physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, neglect and financial abuse or exploitation.

Comprehensive background checks on individuals providing elderly care services will give seasoned employers and individual families alike the peace of mind that only the best possible individuals are hired.

·         Social security number verification to help confirm the identity of the applicant

·         Nationwide criminal record reports including sex offender registry searches

·         Address Checks to confirm previous addresses used by the applicant to help determine jurisdictions to run criminal record reports in.
