My nana is being taken advantage of; financial abuse the most obvious, neglect, and emotional and I'm pretty sure physical abuse.
I was helping nana before family randomly moved her to their somewhat remote home saying they would help her if she gave them her things. I found out quickly how sick these people are that are involved. Gaslighting my nana for years. Unfortunately they are also in POA positions and made her think she has no options and didn't let her talk to others for months. (She is a naieve woman, not very educated). But she has no diagnosed dimentia/Alzheimer's yet they lied about this for a year and got mad at doctors not complying with their lies.
It's been about 2 years now, I've contacted APS many times as have a few others. I don't think anyone was able to provide enough "evidence" because seems to only go as far as looking at finances which they are clever about I guess....even though they forced her out of her home she owns but stopped paying relative fees/maintenance.
She had been able to afford a decent nursing home and told me that's what she wanted after months of abuse. They lied and said they would put her in one and she was so happy to leave the abuse! But they didn't follow through. I don't think she has money left to go into a nice nursing home but I don't think she cares anymore. She would go with me but it would be considered kidnapping and she's scared of her "caretakers" yet doesn't want to get them intorible since they are her daughters.
Now she calls me crying that they are using her money to move everyone to a very remote location. I seriously believe they will put her in a shed to die if not worse. I don't have money upfront for legal, and barely have time for my own children with FT work...I've documented files of evidence along the way, have some texts from the beginning of them saying they will put her out of misery etc. But I don't feel it does any good at this point. I don't know when they will move as they don't tell me anything anymore.
Is there any way I can intervene more effectively; without a lengthy court-centric process and/or upfront legal fees??
Thank you
If you truly think there's an issue, call the police and request a welfare check on her.
