[QUOTE="donna723, post: 411046, member: 1883"] It's a very difficult situation because a lot of elderly people get that way anyway! When my grandmother was in her mid-80's, she was in a wonderful nursing home for about a year before she died. My brother took over the job of managing what little money she had and worked miracles to make it last as long as she did! I still don't know how he did it! But almost as soon as she moved in to the nursing home, the stories started. She told us that they never gave her anything to eat and were starving her - because she didn't remember eating. She claimed that the ancient old lady who was her roommate would get up at night and go through all her things and steal from her. That poor lady was 99% dead and I never saw her move or even open her eyes once when we were there. Poor old thing couldn't have gotten out of that bed if she had to! And when our pastor went to visit her, she told him that my brother had taken all of her money and robbed her of every dime she ever had! It's so hard to know what to believe. Elderly people can be a very convenient target for someone who wants to prey upon them. And in Mickey Rooney's case it's even more complicated when the person has a lot of money. But how do you know?
