You can try outside the "chain of command" - "Please report suspected cases of abuse and neglect to your local county Department of Social Services-Adult Protective Services or call the Dial Help Senior Helpline at 1-800-562-7622 or 482-4357 for more information on services for older adults." http://www.lsnm.org/elderabuse.html

Start by calling the police, anonymously, and register a complaint. Better yet, set up a well hidden video camera and catch them in the act.

Call the police since what's going on is neglect/abuse of a vulnerable adult.
