Hi @Lolo11
Sounds like you're a really caring friend. I'm glad your situation has improved but can understand your concern for your friend. While your friend has to ultimately work things out for themselves you could offer resources to them that might be helpful. Such as educational resources or support services that might be of use to them. What do you think?
Warmest wishes
Hanami

Hey @Lolo11 ,
You have some very valid concerns there. Have you heard of Elder Abuse?
This is taken very seriously. If you feel someone is taking advantage of an elderly person, contact this hotline and they will be able to give you some advice: https://www.health.gov.au/contacts/elder-abuse-phone-line
Unfortunately, this is not uncommon. It is happening only too often.
