Usually there is a "elder services" department you could talk to. Not as a complaintant, just to put a bug in their ear. they can figure a way to stop by to check and see if she is eligible for any of their programs,etc. this gives them a chance to look around. I bet she is in a living hell and would love a senior home where she gets three meals and care. You, know, the state may, if the house is hers, accept it in exchange for her life time keep in a nice facility. Better than there. And that worthless son will be out on his carcass and have to actually work for a living and say "sir" to someone...or jail. Go for it.
