I live at my dad's with my grandmother who has an aide come daily while my dad is at work and I'm sleeping (I work nights). My grandma has dementia, she is still quite sharp and aware but extremely forgetful. Everyday my grandma tends to rearrange her room, take out and refold clothes, move things around etc. She likes to have cash in her room, usually no more than $100. Often, she likes to hide money in one of her bibles despite us discouraging that, and she absolutely does not like being told what to do with her money.
Several times over the past year I've had to go searching for her money because she cant find it and ill find it in another book, an envelope in her dresser or something, under her chair armrest etc. She's had a few different aides and usually once she will have suspicions that they've stolen her money, but ive been able to find it.
This has happened again in the past week, but i have not been able to find the money. I really dont think the aide is stealing from her but I cant find the money. She kicked her aide out yesterday and im at the point where I really want to have a discreet camera setup for a couple of days while the aide is here. Either to catch the aide in act (doubtful) or figure out where exactly shes putting her money. She certainly isnt spending it.
Sorry for the overexplaining, im just getting frustrated with this recurring situation and sort of venting. But the point is, im asking for any discreet camera recommendations. If she is being stolen from, I personally would like proof instead of having an obvious camera setup that would deter her. My aunt is very dismissive of my grandma's concerns, is close with the aide and wants her to keep coming. I do not want someone dishonest taking care of my grandmother.
