It is his next door neighbor. We have witnessed multiple acts of suspicious behavior in the past years. The latest is changing his phone number and not notifying us or another relative of this change. She was very reluctant to give new number until my name was mentioned. We all live out of state. My uncle has mild dementia. I do not believe she did this to protect his privacy. Only to isolate him more. Would contacting Adult protective services be in order for this? Help!
the day.When I would callher house phone to check on her no answer.My Aunt was taken out I was told. To lunch.. The next day Protective Service was called. Not by me but by the bank. She was taken to the bank.(My father had taken all her check books)
My dad who looked over all her affairs then had a stroke. We had to hire A Guardian and conservator. I was very ill at the time and couldnt deal with dad and her finances. However I wish I knew a Guatdian and Conservator could be seperate. Dealing with this guy was a nightmare. I should have been her Guardian amd hired a conservator
The money he paid himself was sick.
However it unsafe and illegal for him. to be unattended. Take action at once.
The nice woman who took her to the bank is now a guest of the state(in jail)
Beware and Good Luck!
The Home Care people (I should say the con artists) were finally caught and are spending 11 years in jail in Cal. The con's assets were sold and distributed to the victims at approx. 57%
So Cameo2014, it is important to stay on top of this.
My sister convinced my Mom that I stole all her money and jewelry. She had the locked changed and her health care proxy. She took her off her meds. I called Adult Protective Services and they told me this was not considered abuse. In 9 months my Mom had a stroke and my sister did not want a feeding tube. My Mom lasted for 15 days with no food or water and she was alert until the day before she died. I tried to fight it but had no legal standing. My Mom told me she made a terrible decision while she was in the hospital, but there was nothing I could do. I have a hard time with this because I was the child who was always close to my parents and took care of them. Maybe you will have better luck because it is a neighbor not a relative.
I am living in similar situation. You can find my postings on here. I returned from being out of country to try to heal from a very sick situation with my siblings. I had hoped to see my mom who I was caregiver to for years. My siblings put her in assisted living, evicted me and brainwashed her after brain surgery. She was becoming demented before the fall and then she had carotid surgery, then fell 10 days later with brain injury and then surgery 2 weeks later. They have totally influenced her and turned her against me. I was told by professionals in the medical community that they can be easily influenced after the injury.
I had thought about going to see her, but now I know her brain is like a child and she cannot decipher the truth. It is so sad that there are so many sociopaths out there and my own family! I hope I die before someone takes advantage of me. The laws do not protect the elderly as far as I am concerned! Good luck and know that by doing what you can with limitations, you are doing the right thing.
