advice about elderly abuse?

Question by Crystal B: advice about elderly abuse?
My grandma is a victim of elderly abuse. She is being taken care of by her daughter and she is the one abusing her. not physically that I know of but she is not changing her or taking her to the bathroom when she needs to. She is also taking her social security check and using it for her own means and buying drugs. This I know for a fact but can’t prove it. Drugs are being done in the house my grandma is living in and there are more than 3 families that are living there with her. The house is dirty also. I have already called the elderly abuse hotline and they did nothing about it so I don’t know who else to contact. Please help me before I have to bury my grandma

This is horrible. If she is stealing your grandma’s money, then that’s enough to call the police. And if she’s using it for drugs, even more reason.
I can’t imagine it would be easy to calll the police in a situation like this. But if the hotline isn’t responding and your family isn’t currently doing anything, legal action needs to be taken. The police will meet with you, ask you questions (you can even do it privately) and then they will investigate. With the new heathcare laws coming into affect, she may be able to get a caretaker from the state.
Wish you luck.
