Any advice welcome please. My FIL 88 has Parkinson's and dementia. MIL leaves him once a week for 3/4 hours while she travels to other side of city to have her hair done. He is vulnerable and only last week he put the catch on the door lock unthinkingly and when she returned she could not get in the house. Had to knock on window for 20 mins before he heard.If he fell he would be helpless. A couple of years ago she was in hospital for a long stay as she fell and broke her hip. They live 40 mins away and hubby was worried about his dad overnight. There is a meeting at her house tomorrow with GP, neuro case manager and my husband. On phone today she has accused him of interfering behind her back. She also denies knowing what attendance allowance is, despite having had it explained to her several years ago when they first got it. My husband is at breaking point and worries about his father being left while she goes out. She refuses to have a private agency to sit with him because apparently he doesn't like company.
