[quote=Anonymous]OP, first things first: Unless your mother has been declared legally incompetent she still has the right to do what she wants. If she chooses not to leave her house, fire her homecare workers, and do without basic life support services, there isn't much you can do. If all that happens, and the neighbors continue to be watchful, I'm sure they will get the authorities to step in at some point for a wellness check. The authorities will determine if she is in a condition to live alone or if she needs to be in a facility. The courts will intervene at this point and may declare she needs a legal guardian, who is typically a paid employee of a company that does guardianship services. I believe when it gets to this point, you and your brother may be contacted to relinquish any rights you have as next of kin, and allow the guardian/court to decide what happens with her. That will include her physical and financial matters. [/quote]
