[quote=Anonymous]You could also get some support through your mother's physician. I realize there are privacy laws, but I know from personal experience, you can share concerns with your mom's physician. Contact the office to get a point of contact, especially if you are not local and carefully detail your concerns. The doctor can bring up these issues or ask directed, probing questions of your mother at her next appointment that could relate to your concerns. (We had concerns about a relative's chronic alcoholism that we rightly suspected was not disclosed to the physician. This was a nightmare situation involving an elderly family member, prescription medication, alcoholism and yes, driving under the influence while also in mental decline. In two separate instances in my family, it was a family physician who declared the senior citizen unfit to drive and this information was forwarded to DMV. [/quote]
