Hi my mum is in a care home and is constantly wanting money in her purse, she is obsessed with money, a friend does take her out sometimes and she insists she "needs " money, i am not supposed to let her have a lot in the care home, she does have an account there for essentials, i am fed up of the constant arguments every time i visit it is all she talks about, i am at the end of my tether, what should i do. She carries her handbag with her in the home but regularly leaves it on backs of chairs etc., she will lose it eventually. I don't have power of attorney i am having to fudge my way through all this , but have i any right to say "no" really, and should i just give her about £500 to " shut her up" please i don;t know what to say next :-(
