My mother was diagnosed with dementia in 2017 whilst she was living on her own. 12 months later she moved in with her "chap". Since then her dementia has worsened, and social services have been involved recently due to the lack of care she gets from her partner. The static caravan they live in (belongs to her partner) is quite frankly a tip, with all sorts of things left lying around everywhere. Neither of them have the means to shower, as the shower is used as storage, and quite frankly it is clearly apparent they are not washing properly or washing clothes. In dealing with the social services, it has also become very apparent to me that he has been taking advantage financially, with approx £20,000 of her money being spent in the last 4 years, of which there has been very little benefit to my mother. Although social services and safe guarding are aware, they are not taking any action as of yet. Both my brother and I feel we need to remove her, but although social services have been made aware of everything we have found and our concerns, they are stating they cannot doing anything themselves straight away, and will observe for 3 months. So I am really upset, frustrated and extremely concerned about my mothers vulnerability and well being. Any advice will be very much appreciated.
