What to do about mother’s elder abuse?
nateru1966 asked:
My mother had a stroke about 4 years ago, shortly after my step-father died of cancer…she was heart-broken. I have 1 brother and two sisters. My brother swore to my step-father on his death bed that he would watch take care of our mother. When she had the stroke, my brother and his wife (a nurse) decided to take care of her. We other 3 thought this was very brave and commendible, and had a lot of respect for their decision. Well, in the past three years, they have gotten Durable Power of Attorney, Medical Power of Attorney, had her house Quit Claimed into their name, emptied all bank accounts, disconnected the phone (they have cell phones now which we don;t know the numbers) and my mother has bruises on her arms and hands where her has been pinched by my sister-in-law (the nurse). also, she says my sister-in-law slaps her frequently. They demand a 24 hour notice when we take my mother, and also demand a schedule of everything we plan to do with her. I am so afraid for her well-being.
