The Adult Protective Services help the Elderly that are being abuse, but who helps the person who is being abused by the elderly??? I know someone who is stressed out and afraid to even
go to her own home, where she has her mother living with her. Is there any kind of assistance here for this type of situations? Tnis person is really a sweet person who took her mother in to live with her after her mom was hospitalized, and insisted she didn't want to live alone. Her other daughters didn't take her, and it looks like none of her children want to take her. It appears that both mother and daughter are not happy together...

contact your local human services organization. should be in the goverment section of your telephone book. This person could also contact a local police investigator and they may be able to help her with a restraining order and get her into a protective service type of situation. It is possible too that the mother could use some counseling or is going thru a life change such as alzheimers or something else underlying.... Good luck in helping your friend. Offer support and stick by her!!!!

Your friend can get a social worker to come and help her with her mother she should consider puting her mother in a home, or in assistant living. She doesn't have to put up with the abuse. She can get social aid that will help pay for her stay. Some people as they get older it's hard to deal with, in wost case the old lady going to have live on her own. But assistant live is best if she able to take care of herself they have stuff to take them to the doctors have your friend check into it. It's worth a shot.

She can still go to Adult Protective Services and ask them for help. Sounds to me like her mother needs phyciatric help and they will provide thet as well as information on organizations to get her the help she needs to deal with her mother.
