My mother is 83 and has multiple health issues including heart problems. Lymphodemia, neuropathy, high blood pressure and dimensia. She is on countless medications including high doses of oxycodone, and morphine. We four siblings know she should not be driving, but she has a drivers license and she does drive.....she is dangerous but will not a admit or acknowlege it. She also forgets more than she remembers and is hemouraging thousands of dollars a week at the local casino. She is combative and won't discuss anything that we know needs to be addressed. Is there a resource we have to take control of the situation. My brother has POA but I'm not sure how much leverage that affords him unless we can prove she is incompetent. How is that accomplished Where do we go?
Another way to go would be to contact her Dr and let him know she is still driving he may not know it and then he can directly get into contact with the DMV and let them know she shouldn't have a license.
Just be prepared she may still try to drive even if they remove her license you'll have to get rid of her car so there is no temptation.
I've delayed rocking this boat but feel I cannot shoulder financial consequences should any 'issue' occur.
Any aid/suggestions will be gratefully accepted and concerned.
