I would document it with my cell phone, paperwork, and call the police. Sometimes the person being abused does not demonstrate the whole picture to officials, they hide it. The police might not make any arrest or inquiry. It would be my responsibility then to make the person safe. Hard to tell you what I would do without knowing who the person doing the abuse is- often it's family

Here in Carmel-by-the-Sea you can ask to have a health check made on someone. A good first step. They get pretty thorough, showing up at the door of the person. If you have knowledge of "elder abuse", you make a report at the police station for them to check it out. I do believe it's then a good idea to keep on eye on the situation to make sure something is actually done.

Every other day my neighbors mother knocks on the door.

"My daughter doesn't feed me. Help me!"

Before you take action to condemn the innocent, make certain to have the facts. The falsely accused will suffer a lifetime of shame and a public record that does not go away. 

Those who act imprudently, should suffer the same lifetime of shame. But, unfortunately, they remain anonymous.

Tread carefully. Lives are at stake.
