Not exactly. However, before informing social services do check with the couple as they may not want to involve them. Unfortunately SC do not always do what the person wants.

A friend phoned to say they had been called by an elderly neighbour to go and help partner, both extremely old. Partner had fallen not for the first time, their offspring otherwise engaged as usual.
Neighbour went and is yet waiting to be thanked by offspring. No covid precautions in place and others there without masks. I was asked for my opinion.
Surely social services should be made aware of the situation and the pressure on the other partner.Has anyone else been in a similar situation?
