Mom lives with my sis, my sis takes all her money,and keeps her house dirty..(which i have cleaned) mom is losing memory,so she can't live alone, and sis won't let her live with her other children, she says she is the best one to live with, which is not true... my sis has a son inlaw that stills my moms pills,and doesn't want to say anything to start trouble, my question is how can i get mom out of there without having to go to court, are there elderly programs that can help? Thanks

I don't know where you live but there are programs available for help caring for senior citizens with health problems. Has your Mom made out power of attorney papers stating a specific child to handle her financial matters? If not she really nees to get 1 made out. Also she needs to have a Medical power of attorney paper paper drawn up. These papers will be very important when she gets worse so that 1 person can handle things without causing a lot of problems with other family members.

This is a very hard thing to deal with and there are not alot of programs to help. I actually have a cousin that is going through the same thing. Does anyone have power of attorney? If not maybe you should try to get power of attorney and then you will have a leg to stand on with the courts

Sorry to say, if Mom is not capable to tell you she want to move out, then you probably will have to hire an attorney.
You will need to document every occurrence that causes you concern and be prepared to hurt your sister's feeling - I am sure SHE does not care she is hurting your MOM.
Who in the family has power of attorney? This is very important when you are dealing with an elderly parent who cannot care for her self.
Good luck ! God SPEED! God bless!

Get all the proof you can on what is happening. I dont know what state you live in or the laws of that state. You can search the internet for support on elder abuse because that is what this is. You just may have to go to court to get her out.

.The very best of luck to you ,yes use your computer to look up senior citizens program,get in touch with a social worker at one of the offices or go to a social services and talk to a worker or at the hospital,there are loads of programs for her, it is very up setting when a senior is being mistreated, please look in to what you can do for your mom , I am sure she deserve better

yes there are programs. contact any nursing home facility or hospital. does your mom have alzhimer's? stealing her pills is a big deal and can progress alzhimer's if she doesn't take them regulary. i work at a nursing home that dealw ith patients who have dementia/alzhimer's. you need to get some help.
