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
What you can do is contact adult protective services, tell them what is going on and ask them to go investigate this.
Your mom may not be able to make sound decisions for herself and someone needs to step up to the plate and be her advocate. If you do not know what to do you can contact your local adult social services agency for advice but I would not wait until her condition declines and protective services start making accusations of neglect. This sounds like a bad situation for your mom and she deserves more.
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.
Magie66 It seems to Me that Your Sister isn't capable of Caring for Your Mother. Ask Her to leave, and take over the role of Caring for Your Mom Yourself. This can not be allowed continue. Your Mom has dry skin and sores and this is ridiculous. Can You imagine the pain Your por Mother suffers in silence. Some People have no nature.
