Background checks can't protect your loved ones in real time
Elderly adults are disproportionately targeted by impersonation fraud. Agencies have high turnover and send substitutes without notice. Background checks verify a name \u2014 but can't confirm the person who shows up is that person.
$3.4B in elder fraud
Elder fraud losses hit $3.4B in 2023. Seniors lose an average of $34,000 per incident. Cognitive decline makes them especially vulnerable to impersonation.
148% impersonation surge
Impersonation scams surged 148% year-over-year. Scammers steal caregiver credentials and show up with fake IDs to gain home access.
Background checks take days
Traditional checks take 3-10 business days and cost $30-300. During that wait, families hire without verification — creating a dangerous gap.
Agency turnover creates unknowns
Home care agencies have 60-80% annual turnover. Substitute caregivers arrive without notice. You expected Maria — but who is this person at the door?
Cognitive decline makes seniors targets
Seniors with dementia or cognitive decline may not recognize that a caregiver has been replaced. They can't verify identity on their own.
When to verify a caregiver
Identity verification is not just for the first hire. These are the moments when confirming who is actually at your door matters most.
Before the first visit
Verify identity before any caregiver enters your home for the first time, whether from an agency or a private hire.
When a substitute arrives
Agencies send replacements without notice. Require verification before any new face comes through the door.
After a long gap
If your regular caregiver has been away for weeks, a quick re-verification confirms the same person is back.
Private hires from Facebook or Nextdoor
Caregivers found through community groups have zero vetting. Verify before the interview.
