My mother had a stroke in march and was released in May. And lived me for 3 months, now she lives with my sister. My sister is not doing anything, she doesn't make her take pills or change her regularly. Skin in dry and she has sores.. she look at tv and gets in the wheelechair once in a while by the caretake who feeds, and change her. On the weekend my sister says that its not her job to look after my mom. What can I do? It cost too much to take her to court. Don't want to put her in a nursing home
If you are unable to hire an attorney to represent you, the protective services unit may provide legal services that would petition for Guardianship. You could decide whether you want to serve as Guardian, or have a professional appointed by the Court. Your question is serious, and the passage of time with no corrective steps can result in detriment to your mother.
What you can do is contact adult protective services, tell them what is going on and ask them to go investigate this.
