I'm in complete despair

20. Yes, they have been doing all those things

Knowledge of the exploitation and drugs did not happen until I arrived (I am an IT pro, so it wasn't hard once I started looking at the clues). They did not suspect and were not opening his mail. While he was in hospital, two shipments arrived with 90 pills each.

He was on a lower dosage of the pain meds (5 mg), but was ordering stronger (10 mg). He used to have a prescription for Ambien, but his pain specialist took him off that. When he had a prescription it was for 5mg, but again, he was ordering 10 mg. The 90 hydrocodone pills just came in a ziplock bag. I had to take one to a pharmacy to identify it - but who knows what was actually in it.

As for hell-hole, he can afford a large apartment in one of the nicest, most popular facilities in the region.

As I mentioned, I have children and grandchildren in another state. I've made 3 trips across the country this year to provide what help I can. I do not have the physical ability to handle his needs, nor the training and experience to deal with his hallucinations and drug problems. The doctors at the hospital told me he either needed to be in assisted living, or if at home, full time supervision and all dangerous items would have to be removed from the house (92 years of being a packrat - I'm still looking for a possible hidden handgun).
