<prompt> Human: So, over the few years my grandfathers health has been declining and in the process he has made friends with a Salon owner and the family. But, these people seem to be taking advantage of my grandfathers wealth and he has left bank statements out on the table that show large sums of money being taken out here and there. His behavior has changed a lot as well, he is being secretive and that is something he was never before. He seems OBSESSED with these people. My mother has been having panic attacks over this and just does not know what to do and neither do I. Its been a horrible event in my family as my grandfather has cancer and these people seem to be living cancer and are clearly out to just soak up as much money they can get before he passes. Whenever my mother tries to talk to him, he just screams at her and wont really talk about anything. He is also constantly forgetting everything and doesnt really grasp his long list of health issues. I just am at a complete loss and really have no idea what to do. My mother thinks he has dementia or some level of it. I dont know what to think about any of it but its obvious these people are getting money from him. I just want my mother to be happy not have to worry about these devils.Assistant: I have no idea what the right answers are but I would begin by contacting your locations version of Adult Protective Services. The behavior you described and his dementia sounds extremely worrisome. Is contacting a family lawyer a possibility for you and your mom, just to see what your options are? I upvoted for visibility. Human: Ive talked to her several times in regards to talking to the family lawyer. But, she is just so full of anxiety and depression and really busy with his medical appointments and trying to take care of him.  <response>: busy with his medical appointments and trying to take care of him Try to make her understand, every dollar he gets scammed out of squanders, is a dollar less for his end of life care.
