My 92 year old grandmother is currently decaying away in her home losing her mind. She has been injured various times but plays it off with insane excuses. She is clearly not mentally fit to be all on her own.
Currently she is in the "care" of my aunt, in which her daughter forced her so that she controls all my grandmother's finances. Right now the aunt does nothing at all, and worsens my grandmother's physical state with her nonexistant care.
In general the aunt is a big obstacle.
What can I do to help this situation? Ideally I'd want my grandmother to move in with me so I can actually take care of her but im unsure if my aunt would let that happen. It's come to the point where the aunt drains her pension each month not even leaving her enough for groceries.
Unfortunately I live a few states away and my grandmother defends anything my aunt says.
So really what are my options? Its not safe for her to be living the way she is and my aunt is just draining her.
call the police if you are worried about her

Ultimately she'll just defend my aunt. I dont think its against the law to be an idiot with your finances.
Her house is a hoarder mess, though I dont think much can change.

Then there isn't much you can do. If your gran signed over her rights it's even less you can do. Unless you can prove abuse.
How do you even know what's really happening when you're not even in the same state?

What she says over the phone, the photos relatives have taken of her dilapidated home, and when I visited her.
