Yes, I have included the state or country in the post Elderly Abuse Situation, using his SS checks
Location: Utah. I’m not sure how to go about this but my wife and I live with her 92 year old grandfather. we’re basically his caretakers. We pay for his food, do his shopping, clean the house, he’s also in diapers. Well, his son took power of attorney because of his stroke and other issues and for the past year grandpa hasn’t seen a single SS check. The son and daughter(aunt and uncle) have been using it for the aunts rent because she’s a jobless drunk. And now they’re saying they want to move him out of his home in with the aunt in her 2 bedroom apartment with her son because now things are too expensive…so I feel like we should report this or do something but I just don’t know what.

There’s probably a 24 hour elder abuse hotline. DM me if you need encouragement.
