The Jehovah Witness people have been stopping by and visiting with mom regularly. I'm afraid they are aware of her failing memory and are after her money. What Can I do to protect her?

I am aware that Jehovah Witness people have been stopping by and visiting with my Mom, on a regular basis. Mom (and Dad) raised us Catholic I am concerned that the J. W.'s are aware of Mom's failing mind, and are after her money. What, if anything, can I do, to protect Her?

I would be there when the JW's come to visit. I would get their names. If necessary, I would advise the elder protection unit of your state attorney general's office of the issue.

A "no solicitation" sign is useful also.

My next door neighbors are an elderly couple (wife has dementia and husband is WC bound post stroke). Their 2 sons never visit (although they live very close). Anyway . . . I make a point of making sure the CNAs know I know them and I wander on over if I see a stranger at the door. OKAY, I know, I have enough to worry about at my own home but some bad ppl really will take advantage of vulnerable adults and we have to be vigilant.

Good luck to a fellow Catholic!

That's scary. If your Mom is that vulnerable to individuals who may be trying to pull the wool over her eyes, does she need assitance in daily living, maybe? Hate to even go there, but even if you could prevent the Witnesses from misleading her, she's still vulnerable to anyone else doing the same thing, isn't she? It's not the religion that is the issue, it is her vulnerability to be coerced. If I misunderstood your sharing, I apologize. Please enlighten me if I inadvertently misunderstood. Thanks. Hope your Mom is safe from social predators at all times.
