I am concerned for Mom's safety, so how can I go about having her mental status determined?
I would recommend calling your mother's doctor ASAP and telling them your concerns. I am sure they will want to see your mother and assess her mental status themselves to see if there is an issue. If they find something abnormal, they can refer her to a neurologist or memory clinic for a more in-depth evaluation.
i did take her to her family Dr. but he says he has to see her several more times befor he makes his recomonditions i guess i canunderstand that but he knows she has dementis and altzhimer he told it to us.see with out that paper i dont have power of attorney, so i cant do much finc. so this has been on my husband andi and he is on disablity our selfs and i cant work so i have no income so we in catch twenty two but something will work i know
