As a caregiver for a 90-year-old client who is of sound mind and lives independently, I have received financial assistance and a car as a gift from him. The bank reported possible exploitation to Adult Protective Services (APS), who questioned my client and are now investigating. If my client is of sound mind and has willingly given these gifts and financial assistance, is there a need to charge me with exploitation?
