What do I do? Elderly friends...*UPDATE*

[caseysmom]

I have a friend who is a social worker in a sort of adult protective services agency. Try to find one of those in their area.

THANK YOU!

I looked up Alzheimer's resources, as well as Eldercare and the NAELA (National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys) in their state.

I also copied and pasted some of every post here. Anonymously, of course!

I just phoned the daughter, and said that info was on its way. She is hanging in there.

She doesn't use the internet, only Juno email - so I think it is a sign from God that my printer is actually working properly today!

THANK YOU ALL AGAIN! I care deeply about these people, all of them...and I am sure this will help.

Sorry this is so late
Been there...
An Elderare lawyer is the way to go.. I wouldn't have survived without one.
I could give you oodles of advise based on what I did. I sure hope your friend actually calls a lawyer. This brings back such sad, terrifying memories. After paying the lawyer the 1st time with my dad, I learned what to do with my mom. I called the lawyer, told him what I did and he OK'd it, never charged me and said I was a quick learner. It was a semi nightmare, but in order to save any money at all and not let ot go towards a nursing home (let Medicare pay) she'll have to do something fast. I hope everything works out....
