What really happened is she lived with her son, she put her money in his name and she was kicked out of the house. She ended up in Houston, sent from friends home to friends home. She has no money now, and no where to live, her SS is $860 month, she lives at a home for learning disabled children, on a cot. When she was turned out of her home with her son she had $200,00. Keep in mind she gave everything over to her son, she tought he would always look after her. My question is where does a woman go who at one time had a wonderful life, now she has nothing. Is there no place, or anything she can do, she doesn't want to sue. She is 88 and has a pacemaker, heart valve, and I don't think she could take it. I just wish there would be some nice place she could live, with like seniors, she is a snap, sweet, and gret lady, has nothing in common with the kids. She says her bed is a cot!

There are nursing homes of course, but I don't think that's what this lady needs. Senior homes are out there as well, small apartments, worth a try. I'm not sure she could afford the rent. Another idea is to ask at church (even if you're not a member) to put out an ad and see if she could rent a room with a nice family.
What a shame. To treat ones parent this way. The best would simply be a friendly hand to take her in.

There are different services out there the elderly. Find some of them and make some phone calls and see what you can find out. At the very least she might be able to settle into a nice retirement community or nursing home where at least her basic needs and medical care are taken care of and she can sleep in a real bed. I'm not sure what your relationship is to this lady, but I'm glad you are looking out for her. No matter where she ends up, keep in touch with her and remain a part of her life. I've worked in nursing homes and seen lots of sad situations and lonely people. It's heart-breaking, our elderly deserve so much more.
I'm not sure of what state you are in, but social services are a good place to start to help this lady out.

You can contact the local AARP they are an organization that specializes in senior living. Meaning they will be able to get her in touch with different resources to help her get her money back from her son. Especially if he is taking her money still. You can also contact the local Human Services Department, specifically the Department of Aging. There are laws and rights that protect senior citizens as well. Best of luck it's so sad really.

Hi there Redford,
Sorry to hear about what is happening to your lady friend.. Especially when someone close to her such as her own son is willing to take advantange orf his own elderly Mother.. I surely hope that this guy lives to regret his actions and in as many ways as possible... He desreve nothing and to like it at that... What an A**. Sorry but I am 40, and just recently lost my Mother... She was just 61, not even old enough to retirer.. She also had a lot to offer you and I in a positive and nurtouring way..
As parents our role is to promote independance in our children, encourage, focus on the positive and so much more..We give our children all that we can in a positive and nurturing way. It is OK to talk about the things that are complicating for our children, but the focus shout actually be on the positive..(( Just like a car battery>>> if you only have negative then you are dead " not living life to it's potential", But if you have positive in the car baterry then you will hear your car PURRR... That my friend is what this guy is losing out on..
My sister had dreams of my MOTHER being very small in her casket after my MOTHER'S passing.... (( The reason for this is because she always took my MOTHER FOR GRANTED AND WHEN IT WAS TO LATE TO RECTIFY THINGS MOM WAS GONE...
I for one am glad that I was able to get to know my DEAR BELOVED MOTHER in a whole new way where she can actually feel free to be herself.. If I would of known sooner how truly beautiful my Mother was and is, I would have done it a long time ago..

You are a spirit with a beautiful heart. If you are related to this precious soul, or if you wanted to help her on a legal level, go on-line to grandparentsrights.com. You could also get ahold of AARP. Grandparentsrights.com will be able to help with some of the legal issues, AARP may have some good suggestions, and you could also contact good and compassionate churches in your community who may have a place for her. I'll bet if you called your local news station, they would love to do her story. It's amazing to see the concern and compassion of community members in a situation like this. I don't know how your paths crossed, but she is blessed that you met. If you help her, may your life be filled with an overabundance of tremendous joy, peace, and contentment. I wish there were a trillion more like you on this planet! May you be richly blessed! Annie

you can call your local senior services and they will help place her in a small apartment if she is able to care for herself they do have senior citizen appartments for them so contact your local police station and ask them to help you get this woman a nice place to stay im sure there has to be a good kind hearted person there that would also help her out , is she getting the medical care she needs , i hope so hopefully one of these groups will pick up and sue the son and take back what is hers

please please see an attorney on her behalf, also put what you told us in an 'ad' in the newspaper. You will most likely get calls form places you don't know of--that could take her in. Trust me, he will get his just desserts. but it would be great if he is forced to give her back her money, poor old lady must be heart broken. I think there are laws for elderly people but I don't know what they are. In my town we have a local t.v. station to go on and vent, and get help.

it particularly is complicated to have self belief yet people try to make him the sufferer!! i think of he could do extra effective than the regulation facilitates and that i think of he could could do hundreds of hours serving the elderly under strict supervision!!
