Mom has dementia and is not able to make financial decisions any more. Mom lives at an assisted living and has called 911 because she sees things that are not happening like smoke coming out of her chair. She has also managed to order home delivery, stating she is paying with cash and repeatedly gives out my brothers phone number when her credit card collectors call her to make financial arrangements.
My concern is her not having the ability to call and talk to her siblings and friends if we take away the cell phone, but if she keeps it what if she gives out sensitive information to someone who could take advantage of it?
If people want to talk to her, have them visit.
