My mom lives in a trailer in rural El Dorado County. Her elderly neighbor, K, also lives on a trailer on the same piece of property. My mom drives K to appointments, groceries, &c. The problem is K is getting increasingly difficult to deal with, and it's not my mom's job. How can she get help? K is becoming "delusional" in my mom's words, telling Mom people have been to visit her and have written on her white board- it's the same notes my mom has written. K talks about going on walks and finding a white church and a town built on a cliff- none of which exist. On top of this she needs rides into town and is difficult and demanding at the best of times.
My mom and I mostly talk via text and she's not always easy to understand, but Mom says that she's spoken to "adult protection" and so has the landlord. "Adult protection" (I'm not sure who this agency might be) say there is nothing they can do unless K wants to go to a home or her landlord evicts her. The landlord is not going to evict her of course.
My mom is in her 70s, is trying to get a job; and doesn't have the time, inclination or expertise to take more and more care of her neighbor- who also happens to be a pretty difficult and unhappy person. They are way up in the hills over several miles of dirt road. Is there any way to get some help for this neighbor, and ultimately, my mom? This is El Dorado county, California. No one involved has much money- I'm pretty sure K is living on social security.
