Friend is renting from us on our property and he's not taking care of himself. What should we do?

He is diabetic with an amputated leg. His daughter wanted him to move where she is. He moved on our property instead and said "my friends will help me". But he isn't even doing the least amount for himself. Hasn't showered, that I know of, since September 22nd. Didn't take his insulin for 2 weeks. Not cooking, no laundry, even messed up the bathroom (didn't make it to the toilet in time) and left the horrible mess for us to clean up. What can we do?

I think his daughter needs to be informed as well.

Agree with Glad, he needs a social worker to check on his welfare. Better you call them before they call you. His condition is well beyond what his daughter can handle.

Call adult protective services within social services in your county. They may be able to help. But, a warning about that too. If they find him competent how he lives is his choice. You might have to draw the line and tell him he cannot live there any longer because of the damage he is causing unless he gets in home help.
