He is mentally and physically impaired.Increasingly raging. Drinking, smoking, verbally abusive. I've called the Sheriff's twice for retaliation. I've refused to allow him to bring beer and alcohol into my home. He threw a case of beer into the refrigerator, damaging all the shelves. He sliced new tire with a razor knife. He's taken me off his care plan with Simply/Medicaid plan.His case manager has been notified of everything, every time of this problem.I get nothing from her. I started Therapy because my anxiety is out of control. My health at this age of 71 can not afford this sort of abuse.He is in self neglect obviously, and his hygiene has become awful. Urinating on the bathroom floor, mold in the bathtub, etc. His bedroom is a rats nest.My Therapist suggested the Marchman Act. I need advice. I need to get him proper help.Thank youHe never allows me in...
And get a restraining order against him if necessary.
He's mentally ill and out of control, as you've observed. You must take this seriously and protect yourself. Otherwise you risk attack, injury, and becoming a statistic on the evening news.
I'm glad you've realized that he's not okay, and I wish you luck.
«The Marchman Act provides for voluntary admissions and involuntary assessment, stabilization, and treatment of adults and youth who are severely impaired due to substance abuse."
Is he in your home now? If not, do not allow him back in. If he comes back call the police and tell them you are afraid of him and he needs to be baker acted. If this happens refuse to take him back. Tell the Social Worker that the State will need to take over his care, you can no longer do it. He is out of control.
Call APS now and tell them he has fired you, that you can no longer have him in your house, that at 71 you can no longer care for him. He needs help you cannot give.
I am making an assumption here, but it seems that if an involuntary assessment shows an admission is required, then it will take place. However, it would be an infringement of rights to make an involuntary admission without proof it is needed.
