Aveline - feel so sorry for you. I’m surprised she is being allowed to live on her own. What do her relatives think about the situation.? (those with the POA).
Getting old is certainly unpalatable- all this really scares me 😱

I feel for you. Don’t engage with her, don’t open the door to her. She’s not your responsibility.

A couple of months ago I mentioned on here how difficult my neighbour had become. She's 93 and always a bit odd. She's also deaf now. There was a lot of emotional blackmail to try to get us to do things for her. Anyway. The couple who have POA for her managed to get her into a lovely care home. It is really nice. However, she hated it and was unpleasant to other residents and staff.
Just heard today that she's coming back on Thursday. SW is going to 'try to arrange' carers! Even if this miracle does come about they'll be daytime only and we'll be back to being woken up three times a night by her opening and shutting her front door.

I just don't know what will happen. Other neighbours are concerned. I've asked for the SWs contact info but no luck. I'm so fed up. We looked after my Granny, mum and MiL. I really don't want to be landed with this difficult neighbour who I didn't ever have much to do with.
Sorry. Just offloading.
