Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I was actually thinking this same thing, anything for get out of jail pass I guess. And if you got charged with something that could land you jail,, you could find your CG days are over!
Just as being a parent to children or other dependents being a caregiver is not a "get out of jail free" card. You still have to obey the laws. Probably even m ore important to do so since you are responsible for someone else you may be being watched by friends, family for any wrongdoing that might even be perceived.
Of course. You can always be put in jail no matter WHAT obligations you have out in the world. People with young babies to care for are put in jail. If you are put in jail and you are leaving a senior in need unattended then you need to notify the authorities, APS of a senior at risk. The state will take over care and guardianship if the senior requires that, just as if the senior did not ever HAVE a caregiver.
Yes, you can be put in jail if you break a law and are sentenced to jail time. Authorities will call for APS to care for the elder. It happens to spouses and children and other vulnerable folks. I suspect it would depend on many things as to whether any leniency would be shown. Prior record, severity of crime, etc. Ability to pay a criminal attorney who might know how to negotiate appropriate punishment and allow you to make restitution might make a difference. I’ve heard of weekend jail, confinement to home, heavy fines, long probations. I know a woman who committed fraud with the VA. She could have gone to jail. Instead she is paying her charges back from her social security. So, there are many factors that can come into play as to what happens when someone breaks the law.
Yes. Just as parents with underage children can be put in jail.
The arresting agency would have to secure care for the person. Likely the elderly person needing care would be brought to the hospital and from there placed in a care facility. If the caregiver who has been arrested is going to be in prison for a long amount of care, then the state would probably file for emergency guardianship over the person needing care.
'The arresting agency' would refer it to the appropriate state body dealing with ageing. They wouldn't 'secure care for the person' themselves, it's not their job.

Do you really think a person gets a pass to commit crimes because they are a caregiver?
