Alice hires a local handyman, Joey, as a live-in caregiver after her shoulder surgery. She recovers, but soon COVID-19 hits, and Joey, who is down on his luck, stays on to help around the house.

I am guessing she had NO family to keep an eye on her after relocating.

And yes, guy was referred to her by friends at her new location.

I hope I die before my only child as I so do not trust folks these days.

Knew this guy 7 years and he did this!!!

We really need to be careful as we age and need caregiving.

Thank you AARP for publishing this. Hopefully it will alert folks who are thinking of doing this.
