[quote=Anonymous]Adult Protective Services is all there is, really. You or the social worker (or both) can make a report and explain the situation. If your dad loses capacity to make his own health care decisions, and they feel that your mom is a threat to his health and safety, they can go to court to become guardian of person and property. But it sounds like he’s still able to make decisions, and defers to her, for better or for worse. APS can check in on them from time to time and intervene with your mother when necessary, in a way that family might not be able to do as effectively. If your dad’s condition deteriorates and he’s unable to discharge home effectively, the rehab social worker will have a very frank discussion with your mother. But again, if your dad has capacity, you may have to make peace with the precariousness of things. [/quote]
