The eldest of 4 children has decided to haul off and start investing Mom's money and paying himself salary as a "caregiver" when he is nothing of the kind. More like a chauffeur that makes Mom lunch. Mom has severe Alzheimer's dementia, and he just up and leaves here by herself all the time. I am concerned at so many levels, but mostly terrified that she will fall or just walk out the door, both of which she has already done. How can I get county health to step in, and how can I stop him from squandering all my Mom's money when we are aging to need it to take care of her?
I need help...please !
Unless your mom gave him authority before her Alzheimer’s disease to do as he wishes with her money, then he is taking advantage of your mother. I doubt if she ever wanted him to use her money as his own.
Does mom live in his home? Does he live in her home? She shouldn’t ever be left alone if she has severe Alzheimer’s disease.
You will have to report your brother. They will conduct a thorough investigation.
Wishing the best for you and your mom.
