Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
I wouldn’t want a caregiver with a criminal record. OP if you’re the one with the record, you’ll have to ask caregiver agencies if they’ll accept your job application.
You would probably never become a Certified Nurses Assistant. And if you are hired privately or through an agency the fact that when you are a caregiver there is the possibility that you will be in a household with controlled substances and access to them. I would not want a caregiver caring for my loved one that may take meds intended for my LO for themselves. This is just my personal feeling on this. I would suggest that you find an agency that you would like to work with and discuss this with them. Or if there is a facility that is hiring go in and talk to them.
If you are talking about being hired privately this would be up to the individual that is looking for a caregiver. Almost anyone that is going to hire privately will have a Background check done so if you try to hide this it will be found out.
I agree with Grandma1954 that drug possession felony + working in homes that can have opioids or other controlled medication = problematic. Yes, the felony would show up on an agency's background check.
If you wanted to be privately hired you should disclose this information upfront so that the person who hires you can make an informed decision. However, it would be unwise to put yourself in situations where there is temptation (assuming you didn't only just sell but also used).
I seriously doubt you can be hired anywhere with this in your background. It will show on every screening. If you were to be hired privately complete disclosure in writing is a must and I think the environment would be too great a hazard for you. Prescription drugs would probably be in the client's home.
Try to find something that sets you up for success not failure.
No, you will, not be able to work in any health related field. Thats as an LPN or RN. Nowhere where drugs are available to you.
I think when its a felony conviction, its not just possession but the intent to distrubute. My GFs son, now 30, had a felony conviction and he could not find a job anywhere. As soon as the employer saw he had a felony conviction, he did not get the job. It took him ages for a Warehouse to hire him and he has done pretty well. He was being punished for something he did years ago. He has been clean since he was almost killed in an accident while being on drugs. He lost his drivers license. Hard to get a job without a car.
I personally would not want someone with a felony conviction caring for my LO, and fairly certain this is the norm.
You are better looking for a manual labor job at a warehouse, septic company, landscaping I have friends that own companies in those fields and they often give chances to people with felony convictions.
I work in an industry that covers this. An Obama era law took away being able to report on or deny housing or employment due to convictions for possession of drugs. Denial can only happen due to distribution of illegal drugs. That said, denial often happens anyway when this is found as employers still have the right to hire and fire at will. It comes up more as a factor in obtaining housing, as you cannot deny housing for possession charges. As for people desiring or eliminating a prospective employee for this, that’s an individual or agency choice where an individual can get by with denial more than an agency covered by the law. Hope this helps
That being said that law seems rather pointless because if it appear on a background check, the employer simply has to come up with another reason as to why they were not hired, or why they were terminated.
