That's so sad Serendippily. A lose/lose situation for all concerned.
I hate the scammers too McG. Great that things went so well for MiL. It's difficult to watch people struggle when you know there is a way to alleviate it. I hope she can be persuaded to accept some help - even if it's in the form of FiL going somewhere for a couple of hours a week or having a befriender in.

The scammers got mil once about her recent car crash.
Oh I haven’t had a crash but my grandson has and she gave the scammer his details
Son then got a call from scammers saying your grandma said you had a crash. Luckily he is streetwise.

Dipps that sounds so hard even to witness.
LMH - I think /hope this op might push MiL to accept more help. When I left yesterday (Liebling and her sister styayed overnight) MiL was sat with her feet up and a blanket over her legs, wiped out. Usually when the carers are there she follows them around, interfering.
Ideally, they would give her some respite time but she's always suspicious of them when they are alone with FiL. She literally can't follow them now. She has to rest. So she might see the benefits of having a break.

Liebling is home. Her Mum got up this morning to make sure she was up for when the carer got there. She even allowed the carer to make her a cup of tea without interfering.
One slight downside is that instead of saying to the carer, e.g., 'Could you bring me some milk? It's over there' she instead pointed to the kitchen and demanded, 'MILK!'

Glad Liebling is home. General politeness and 'how-to-behave' does seem to be a casualty of ageing/dementia.

McG which hospital? If it’s Chichester/ St Richards I sometimes work with the gynae team there. Feel free to let me know if anything seems to be going wrong. (Not that I have any power to influence anything. But I might be able to ask.)
(OK, I’m leaving again now!)

It is indeed St Richards Mazlin, but I have to say, they've been brilliant so far.
