[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally different situation than you but my homeless drug addicted brother called me out of his mind in the middle of the night about 10 years ago from LA. I directed him to go to the hospital and begged for them to take him and hold him for as long as possible. He was suicidal so that kept him there long enough for me to book him a flight to DC. As soon as he was released he somehow convinced someone to drive him to the airport. Ended up on the flight and made it to DC and never looked back. It’s easier to help family when they are living nearby. I was totally helpless when he was in LA. Good luck OP! [/quote]

+1, My MIL was suffering from Dementia but no one knew it.  We thought it was another mental health issue.  We also weren't sure if she was in a bad situation.  My husband flew out, things were odd where she was living and being taken advantage of.  He came home and a few weeks later he flew back to take her.  She lived with us till we could get her into a facility.  Either help or don't.  Honestly it sounds like you are looking for someone to send you/her money.  CA offers a lot more supports than here.  She needs to go to the social service office and get help.

It would take at least a year to a few years to get SSI or SSDI.  Her best bet is unemployment, social security or even cash assistance.  They can place her in a shelter and get her the help she needs if she wants it and you are not willing to help.  [/quote]
