Summary
Families entrust paid caregivers to monitor elderly relatives, but caregivers often fail to report significant health changes such as stopping eating or sudden symptoms. This communication gap, combined with medical systems that overlook chronic conditions, leads to delayed diagnoses and preventable deaths. Families are left unaware until it's too late, and no reliable system exists to ensure caregivers consistently report vital information.
