Elder Abuse
Elder Abuse can be All of the Following:

  • Financial Abuse occurs when money or property is taken away from an older person with an intent to defraud. This may result in the loss of one's home, property or savings.
  • Neglect occurs when an individual or their caregiver does not provide essential needs such as hygiene, food, clothing, shelter, health care, or safety.
  • Mental Suffering occurs from threats, harassment, or intimidation. This creates fear, agitation, confusion, severe depression or serious emotional distress for the older person.
  • Physical Abuse is any intentional act (not due to an accident) that causes pain, bodily injury, and physical suffering. It may be due to unreasonable physical constraint, assault, battery and/or sexual abuse.

Fraud Victimization or Identity Theft
Fraud protections begins by:
  • Never assuming a friendly voice belongs to a friend.
  • Never giving your credit card, checking account or social security number to an unknown caller for any reason.
  • Avoid giving out your Social Security number. If businesses or utilities insist, suggest using just the last four digits, or an alternate ID code.
  • Cross out social security and credit card numbers on pay stubs and bills before throwing them away. A better strategy is to shred these documents.
  • Check your credit-card statements for purchases you didn't make. Report any sign of fraud immediately to credit card companies.

Dear Amy, I'm so grateful for the change of schedule. The addition of the three afternoons and evenings helps so much. I'm so happy to be able to stay in my own home with my dog.

Thankfully, Veta Jent

As I live in another state, I knew I could depend on you and your staff. I can't thank you enough for all the help, care, and attention you gave me and my mother.

I am very glad I called Amy's to help through this difficult time.

Diane Rogers

Your people helped to make a difficult situation manageable. The wonderful care provided by Dad's personal caregivers made all the difference in his quality of life and our sanity during his last few moments here on earth. My only regret is that we had not employed your organization sooner.

Thank you so much for all the "Loving Care" you provided for Vivian. She would not have had the last few years as happy as she was.

I have been receiving service from Amy's Loving Care at my home near Holden, MO for over one year. All of the ladies who have been to my home have been very professional and very trustworthy. Amy herself is very knowledgeable about what the elderly need as to care provided. The ladies who answer the phone are very nice and polite. I have recommended Amy's to others.
