After a grueling day on the phone with the police, attorney, investigators, APS, Crisis Services, doctors, social workers, etc...The heavens finally opened up! I contacted a commonwealth’s attorney in Richmond who specializes in elder abuse cases at 5:30 this afternoon. After a brief conversation with her in which I pleaded for her help, she offered me at 10am court hearing before a judge to request an emergency protective order on behalf of my grandparents. I will have about 10 minutes to state my case and that's that...This is the first step in petitioning for guardianship and will help pave the way....My grandfather remains in the hospital being treated for a myriad of issues related to long term poor nutrition, neglect, and complete lack of medical care. My grandmother has been moved to the Geriatric Psychiatric Unit.
I will be looking into and visiting nursing homes both in the Richmond area and possibly closer to me (selfishly). If you have recommendations, do share.
My uncle's world is about to come crumbling down. And though necessary, it’s another sad piece to this broken puzzle.
Thanks for caring...
