My sister is legal guardian to my mother who has dementia. She has put her in an independent living facility with 1hr of med nursing/day. My mother is being lured out of the facility by a man named as a person of concern in guardianship documents. She was lured to Fred Meyer 2 weeks ago where she fell and broke her arm. This man is still calling and trying to get her to visit him. She is supposed to remain still so she can heal. Her balance is bad and she should not leave her apartment. My sister has hired a nurse to help her shower, but she is still alone for several hours a day. This man has been banned from several properties due to stalking and coercive behavior? How can I advocate for my mother to receive the 24hr care she needs.
HelpMyMom, maybe it is time for your sister to put your Mom into Assisted Living, where the Staff has more control over who is coming in and out of the building. Independent Living is just that, independent, where the resident can come and go as they please.
My advice would be to mend fences with the sister and try to work together, but I know that's not always possible. Since she is posting here I doubt they are able to sit down and discuss this like sensible adults so she needs suggestions on what more she can do.
