Seen that happen to two different old ladies that lived near me. One was racking up $25,000 hospital stays b/c of health issues from not eating properly or being able to find her medication. However, it was easier for the fire department to show up every 2 weeks to transport her to the hospital rather than getting her committed.
I worried our apartment would burn down from the trash stuffed up against the heaters and lights. But nothing could be done until some social worker got around to deciding she was incompetent and a threat to herself
