can anyone offer advise about money for my aunt who has dementia. I am her POA and do her shopping, bills etc. I used to get her £50 to keep in her purse but stopped drawing any more out as she was trying to give her carers the money. Every couple of months she asks me to tell her how much she has in her account. At present she has a large amount and I have told her in the past how much she had and she was not to worry as she has plenty of money. The last time I told her she got quite nasty about it and shouted out in a busy shop how much she had and how I was going to be a very rich woman when she was dead!
Today she rang me and said she was going to get a taxi and go to the bank and draw some money out. I went along with it and said ok, bearing in mind that she is 88 and has very poor mobility and hasnt been out for more than two years on her own. Can anyone please advise me should I continue drawing a small amount out and giving it to her, she also complains that £50 Isn’t enough money. Also should. I tell her honestly how much she really has, the money in her account is going down as she has carers every day., twice at the moment but she has had four visits in the past after a fall. She doesn’t know that she is paying for the carers or she would have refused to have them, I had a terrible struggle over it. I am just not sure what to do.
