Minus the details, my grandma has dementia and has to have someone sit with her 24 hours a day, so my Mom handles the responsibilities of this. Some problems have arisen with one of the workers that now has mom wanting the ability to run background checks on the workers she hires. Can anyone here shed some light on the best way to do this?
 
What I usually do which is not a background check essentially is ask permission to have social security number of all my workers and do some digging into public records for info DMV to see if their license are good etc! Don't know if that's what your looking for but it makes most my hiring decisions!
 
Home healthcare these days is a dirty business from what I can tell people just don't give a damn about the ones they care after if they actually Care after them while working... I've witnessed prescriptions come up missing, money, jewelry oxygen equipment, workers sleeping on the job and my grandmother using bathroom on herself bc they had slept most the day, it's ridiculous! Sorry to hear your having problems with this I feel your pain for the last 7 years!
 
Nursing homes can suck as well,husband went to one in FL they spoke broken English. Found out it use to be a hospitable, sucked then and sucks as a nursing home. Hope to die before that point.

Problem is you gotta home your family dies before then too.
Which kinda make one an asshole.
 
True on that. Bad thing is what the old man been through he should be dead back in 97. Wood chipper. Worse is his father side of genes,80+they dont look like it or act like it.

Send them to PD and have them pay for their own. If it comes back clean you can reimburse them

I tried this, called the local Sheriff today and they sent me to the Clerk of Court. Clerk told me they would only provide records for that one county. A county search is too small, as one of the (now former) workers has misdemeanor and felony charges in three surrounding counties. I'm trying to at least run a state-wide search. I think I'm going to call an attorney friend tomorrow and see what they say.

Can you provide me some specifics of where you search? Mom has their socials.
 
I look it up on public records through the court system in va not sure but assuming NC has same thing and I use their ss to look at DMV to see if their legal to drive or have a bad driving record
 
VA and SC have good public records searches (I use them all the time in recruiting). NC has a statewide AOC that we have access to (not me, but in my company) that requires paperwork. I can only run NC statewide checks on people that are in the enlistment process.
 
There are a number of real estate focused tenant screening companies that do background and credit checks on folks for $40 ish.
may start your search there.

Ive used cozy in the past and it does what you want plus more.
 
If you know a cop........


Or, someone in child support enforcement......

My mother knew the names, ages, backgrounds, family history...etc of every single friend or girlfriend I ever had. And she was cleaver too. She never asked too many questions at once. Only way I ever found out was I was dating this smokin hot redhead when I was 16 that was actually 19. But of course I told my mom she was 16. Yeah that didn't go over too well. I found out the hard way parents are not as dumb as kids think they are :rolleyes: She even asked me what my best friend was going to do about his DUI.....before I even knew he HAD one

Anyway...she was Child support enforcement and had access to the same records as a deputy.
