[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 573509, member: 1233"] I am so sorry you have all this going on. I hate the way your mom was treated at the psychiatric hospital. I hope your complaint changed things so that this won't happen again. A friend of mine went through this wth her gma after the gma needed to be in a nursing home. Elder abuse makes me sick and furious. I am sure that they could find a charity to help wth the items. They can also find an antiques store and often these will run estate sales. My mom works with a family friend doing this. They go into the house once the family has taken what they want out of it. They clean and arrange and price everything, which can take a month or so. Then the company holds the sale Fri/sat/sun and they give the family part of the $ earned. I am not sure of the split though. After the sale, the family can decide where things left over will go. Many have them hauled to a thrift store or charity and others just don't care and tell the company to do what they want with the leftovers as long as they are hauled off. Mostly things here go to one of maybe four charities. This is an excellent option because the people who do the sale end up doing a lot of cleaning. They also haul things off, so it is a way to save some real time and energy. I would look for either estate sales or call antique stores and ask if they do estate sales. Be sure to check with the cops and better business bureau to see if there have been complaints about the company you are thinking of using. I really hope and pray that your Dad comes through fine and that your mom can get some help in coping with her ordeal. They are not lucky to have you to help them. They are BLESSED. [/QUOTE]
