An elderly person (102) lives with a person who is not related to her, is not her guardian and does not have POA. Any hope of getting in NH?

More information would be helpful here. So these 2 are roommates? How much care was he healthier roommate providing and what has changed now, as in what sort of needs does the elderly person have now that?. You say no one has been able to help, who has been contacted and what answers did they provide? Has APS been contacted? APS or a state social worker should be contacted and the healthier housemate needs to tell the social worker he/she is unable to be responsible for the housemate. Has that been done?

The State will need to take over her care. I would start with Adult protection services. The woman needs to explain she is not related nor can she give the care the woman needs.

Not unless there is a need. They are called Nursing homes because people need nursing care to live there.

I would check into board and care homes or assisted living if her situation doesn't require nursing care.

Start by calling your counties council on aging, they can guide you to resources.

At the very least, contact the local department of aging/senior services, police, or even the local city hall. People can direct you to the proper resources.

What has already been tried? Does 102 year old person need a nursing home or is the other just not able to provide care?
