flag Unregulated homecare in Belize endangers elderly dementia patients, with most abuse cases going unreported due to lack of oversight and fake caregivers.

flag A Belize-based advocacy group warns that unregulated homecare is putting elderly dementia and Alzheimer’s patients at risk, as over 99% of abuse cases involve such individuals unable to report harm. flag Founder Sasha Eiley says unqualified or even criminal caregivers, sometimes using fake credentials, are hired without licensing or background checks, citing a case of long-term abuse discovered by a substitute caregiver. flag She criticizes the lack of oversight, misleading online listings, and a complex legal process for reporting abuse, urging urgent government regulation to mandate training, vetting, and accountability in the homecare industry.
