I came into this man's life when he was totally down. He had no food, no money, his legs were full of sores. I helped him clean up his house, it was infested with bug mites. Now the house is bug-free. Instead of a thank you from the neighbors, I get accused of exploiting his money and taking advantage of him. Mind you this man has dementia, not too bad, but does not know how to cook. I do everything for this man. Wash his clothes (sometimes he messes his pants). I cook, clean house and everything. I live here in his home, but he does not pay me. Now I am getting accused of this. What does a person do about this?
I guess the neighbors are suspicious of you being there? Were the neighbors involved in this man’s life before you came along? It sounds like he was pretty much on his own before you moved in.
Why aren’t you getting a salary?
Have the neighbors spoken directly to you before the police became involved?
Does this man have family? Who hired you? How did you meet this gentleman?
This is the second question you have posted about maybe getting in trouble for helping this man. Are you the aid or the man.
If APS is called there will be an investigation. You need to prove that ur innocent. His bank statement should show his money is being spent on him. Any credit cards have been used for him. From what you have posted, APS should have been called for this man and the State take over his care.
So, are you client /caregiver, or significant other?
The rest of my answer is based on this clarification
