I had to take over my mothers care on Sunday. I found out from my brother-in-law that my sister who has been taking care of my mother was hospilized. She has been placed in a mental institution. I was under the impression that my sister was fine, she has had previous ipisodes. My brother-in-law told me that a nurses aide was coming in daily for the care of my mother. Come to find out my sister had fired the nurses aide, my brother-in-law did not find out till two weeks later, tells me 3 weeks later. I had spent some time with my mother, I lived and worked over 6 hours away. My brother-in-law brought my mother to me with a bin of clothes, no medical information, her meds in a baggy. I don't have her medicaid card, her SS#. I just found out from brother-in-law, that my sister had my mother sign papers to purchase a house, a truck and has the payments automatically taken out of my mothers checking account. My mother is in the stages of alzheimer where she does not remember 5 minutes ago. Checks with me at least 10 times a day as to who I am, where she is and where her dog Samantha is. I think she is really sad not to have her dog. I also just found out that my sister had my mother sign a guardianship and took this to an attorney to file. She has hidden all the paperwork I would need to get my mother medical care. I am in another state with my daughter. This caused me to quit my job and move in with my daughter. I still have all my belongings in another state, I feel spread out amoungst 3 states. I am so overwhelmed, and have no idea what to do. I don't have the financial means to hire a lawyer, and would not know what to hire one for. My brother-in-law has asked my sister when he is able to go and see her. That depends on whether she accepts his visit or not, and she won't tell him anything. He says that the house is in such chaos. She was convinced that someone was coming in the house and taking things, injecting her while she was asleep to control her. Then she turned her paranoia onto my brother-in-law. I guess my main worry is that I don't have a thing on my mom. What is going to happen when she runs out ofmeds. I know that I have just rambled on and on, I just don't know what to do. My daughter is helping as much as she can but she does work full time, and then with her three children and the after school activities is very time consuming. Can anyone give me some advice, some kind of help as to how I would go about getting the necessary information for my mother? mad:
