To not want carers to have my Mum's bank card?

My Mum has recently had to get carers due to her declining health, both physically and mentally. One of the things they do is to go shopping for her, or which they have asked for her bank card and PIN number. I really don't feel comfortable with this. Can't I just give them cash from her account, which I have access to?

I can't imagine any reputable care company would ask for this
?

Absolutely not. I would not feel comfortable having these "carers" around your mum, I'm sorry.

Yes, leave cash and ask for receipts
