I must concur with wheelchair here.  If you do not stand up for yourself, it is difficult to expect others to do so.  I had an aide steal a sizable amount of money from me about nine years ago.  I pressed charges, but the county in which I reside chose not to prosecute, but thankfully the county in which the person cashed the stolen checks decided to prosecute.  In the state of Florida it is a felony to defraud or steal from a disabled/elderly person.  She will never be taking care of anyone again.  Even though restitution only amounted to about half of the amount taken, I felt considerably better knowing she would not be taking advantage of someone else.

When you hire aides, you become an employer.  Employers don't allow stealing to happen and when it does, police help is available.  A detective will help you set up the sting and count your meds.  Once the aide leaves with marked meds, they can be arrested outside your door.  Then make sure you hang'em.   Show no mercy.  The word will get around much quicker.
