[quote=Anonymous] So, not to scare you, OP, but your mother sounds as if she has some sort of cognitive decline herself. Not the same sort of dementia maybe, but a real disease that is unrelated to her living conditions. I've known several spouses of people with dementia, and they all begged for help and knew exactly what the situation was. The denial is very concerning. You should call their county's eldercare office or whatever it's called and ask what they can do. Where I live, the county can do welfare checks, send people who are unable to care for themselves to homes, and go to court to appoint a caretaker for their estate. Usually it happens when a person is sent to hospital and it transpires that they don't have adequate care to go home, but you can try in this situation. [/quote]
