Hello! I’m seeking some resources or guidance about my family situation. My mother has dementia (doesn’t recognize anyone, needs assistance with dressing and eating). She lives with my step father. Unfortunately, he is refusing to pay for any help - home aid, therapies, palliative care. He is looking for the cheapest home to put her in (not even a memory care). He does not help her with anything and just keeps telling her to go to her room. I live 3 hours away but visit 1/week. When I visit she laughs, does puzzles, says she loves her home. Unfortunately, she cannot live with me because of some safety concerns. The thing is they have a LOT of money but he just won’t use it to help her have a good quality life. Could an attorney help to make him spend money to get her help she needs? They don’t qualify for anything free because of their income.
Just a thought.
