My elderly friend who is 89, lives alone, always pays his bills on time, is very independent, lives in a senior citizen building. His super in the building befriended him and started taking him to do his errands. Now the super for the building has POA. He transfered all my friend's money to himself to buy a house in Florida and buy car for himself. Then when all this was done, put him in a nursing home after taking his apartment and doing away with his stuff. My friend is crying, wants to go back to his home and I am trying to help him. They took away his phone. To talk to him, one has to go to the operator, and the person that runs the nursing home is a relative of the super. So she's keeping an eye on him. When he gets a call, she brings the phone to him and sits beside him while he talks. I need to help my friend, pleading for advice.
Yes, you need to contact Adult Protection Services.
In any case, call APS in your area.
If there is a local Senior Center in your area they probably have a Social Worker that can help as well. The Social Worker would be a "mandated reporter" of any abuse so it would get reported to the proper office for the area you are in.
