@sueinmn what an awful story. We have something similar down the street from us where an elderly man is being taken advantage of and it is heartbreaking. Bringing my dad's doctor into the picture is an excellent suggestion - thanks for your response!

Hi @daisychain While I don’t have any magic suggestion I did want to share something my wife’s neuro doc told us: When the brain is ‘broken’, logic is often ineffective with the patient.

I can’t tell you how many times my wife’s thought processes and actions defied logic as well as her past personality as her disease progressed. It really forced me to be more forward thinking about possibilities than I had been.

I wish you all the best.

Strength, Courage, & Peace
