What is the name of your state? Florida
My Daughter-In-Law recently suffered a stroke and was hospitalized for three weeks. Upon her release she was barely continent, couldn't walk on her own, only talked in whispers and very short sentences, couldn't read or write clearly and her diminished mental capacity was obvious to anyone; however, the insurance company determined she was not incapacitated enoug to warrant an in-patient long term care facility, we therefore accepted an invitation from one of her friends, who is a nurse, to take her into her home for a while until she was more stable. Once there the nurse friend only allowed a 15 minute visit with her which also included her husband. We told her that it was not fair but she insisted that because this was her house and she was very busy with her care that 15 minutes was all she could allow and if I wanted to visit I should call first. After the first visit she didn't answer her phone and when she did, she hung up on me several times as soon as she recognized my voice. I've spoken with my dauhter-in-law only twice in spite of calling every day and sometimes twice a day for over a month. Her husband attempted to go visit without calling first because he couldn't reach her on the phone and they told him he couldn't come in. We contacted adult protective services who went there and said his wife said she's ok and that was that. I know that my Daugher-in-law loves her husband and loves me as well because we are very close and I suspect protective services saw that she was in a suitable environment and decided that this was not an issue. Her husband attempted to visit her again and the nurse filed a trespass warrant so he now cannot come on the property nor does she answer her phone. My Daughter-in-Law is still not able to use a phone due to her illness which means we have no contact with her anymore! My Daughterin-Law's sister does not want the marriage to continue either because she found out (while her sister was in the hospital) that my son is a recovering addict. They've been together for over seven years and she has no intention of leaving her husband; he's a long ways from being perfect but is not abusive and they do love each other. Her sister and the nurse have decided to break them up. Her sister, who lives in another state, put a "for sale" sign in my Daughter-in-law's yard and closed her bank account saying she has gotten power of attorney. Is there anything that can be done?
