[quote=Anonymous]If it’s a landline phone, as a first step, maybe you could turn the ringer off; he might not notice. And that wouldn’t prevent an outgoing call if there was an emergency. And then surreptitiously have your mother monitor the caller ID, to make sure nothing important was missed. Had an uncle in the early to mid stages of dementia who was insistent on driving and kept having fender-benders, including a hit and run; my aunt hid his keys but he kept coming up with spares, because he had lost them so many times and had duplicates made. She finally drained his battery by turning on everything while parked and then he accepted the car didn’t work and that was it for driving. Sometimes you have to resort to desperate (and somewhat sneaky) measures to save someone from harm. It is hard sometimes to get someone declared incompetent, even with a POA in place, if a doctor refuses to sign off on it. [/quote]
