Hi everyone
my SIL has dementia, she lives with a companion who also has dementia. They live in a sheltered accommodation type setting, independently but with support from me and DH. They are forgetful but not to the point of needing professional round the clock care. The main issue we have is money, she has free access to her bank account and husband has power of attorney. She started withdrawing all of her pension within 3/4 days, hundreds of pounds then she wouldn’t know where it was and wouldn’t have any money for rest of month and her bills were bouncing as she’d emptied the account. This went on a few months and eventually husband used POA to open a second account for her and he now transfers her pension to her weekly to drip feed her to ensure her bills don’t bounce and she doesn’t withdraw the lot and lose it. She is now accessing smaller amounts weekly but is still losing the money.
we can’t be sure she isn’t giving it away or someone taking it off her, so we are wondering if there is a camera we can set up so we can see some of whats going on but she doesn’t have internet.
does anyone know of a camera which will connect to my husbands phone so he can watch but that works without an internet connection? Thank you
