MeWomen,
I feel you are doing the right thing. We still hide or put away our wallets and meds even tho stuff doesn't come missing often.
My son that has caregivers certainly has had problems with certain caregivers taking his clothing and meds. He had a beautiful grey wool coat for winter and when I went to look for it so he could wear it to the doctor, it was gone.
He had one male caregiver that stole money and medications.....pain pills and anxiety medication. He has a gun safe that he uses as a regular safe that works well. He keeps his meds and money plus other valuables in it.
Another caregiver took a laptop DVD Player and his laptop computer. He knows who took these items but can't prove it. He had these two people fired from his care.
