My friend's parents currently spend their winters in Arizona, and come back
here April - September (I think).  Both of her sisters live here in town
with their families, and I know that one is a nurse at the hospital.  She
also has a brother who lives in a nearby town.  They know about the
situation but I think they're not sure of what to do.  

Thanks, 
Anthony

Anthony,

I know it's frustrating to stand by and watch your friend go through  
this -- does she have any family who could act on her behalf if she  
can't speak up for herself?
