Essentially as you're not NOK or a guardian you're limited in terms of what you can do and who will listen to you. Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland may be able to provide advice but from what you're saying it seems that he needs social work support. It may be worth contacting social work and explaining that whilst you're currently providing care you're no longer able to do so and that you are imminently concerned about your friend's welfare/safety. I'd make them aware that you're providing food etc. however will not be able to do this much longer so he needs input from them now. It's also worth mentioning your other concerns (don't downplay the seriousness of them). Ultimately you're doing a very kind thing but this isn't your responsibility and social care need to step up. |
