[quote=Anonymous]This is so much more complicated than many make it out to be. You cannot put a limit on his account unless you are in charge and he has been declared incompetent. There was a long period of time my mom clearly had early signs of dementia and was doing stupid things financially and otherwise, but she actually passed the screen. Add to that a sibling who convinced her not to get another evaluation after that and then got handouts.

Will he get an evaluation? If not, does he have a checkup soon? Let doctor know concerns so screener is done. Also, yes sometimes APS, coucil on aging and the Alzheimer's hotline can have useful advice. It can trial an error to figure out how to get him evaluated and then he has to be far enough along the screener will catch it. In the case of my aunt it was 2 years of idiotic decisions before a screen suggested further evaluation.

What if the screener catches it and he gets a full evaluation? You may beed to get him declared incompetent so you can take over-get conservatorship or whatever it is called.[/quote]
