This is neglect of a vulnerable elder, and you want Adult Protective Services rather than the Corporation for Aging. Here is the relevant web address:

http://www.dhs.pa.gov/citizens/reportabuse/dhsadultprotectiveservices/

(abuse includes neglect, by the way).

As you have already chased your tail down a number of blind alleys, you'd better get your evidence together first so that you don't get dismissed as a disgruntled neighbour.

Take photographs of the dilapidation to her home, and the standing water.
Record the night time concerts from your side of the wall (of course!).
Keep a journal of incidents for, say, one week.
Write a summary giving dates, contacts and details of the history of the problem so that APS can see how it's developed.

If this still doesn't start the ball rolling, you and your other affected neighbours are possibly going to have to start an action for nuisance. That might concentrate those children's minds, but let's hope it won't become necessary.

Not everyone had great parents growing up. Maybe the kids were neglected. Now you think they should take care of her. You just never know.

I’m so sorry that you are going through this. Does she rent or own?

How long have you been your neighbor? Was she always this way? Can you call a local mental hospital and report her as a danger to herself?
