**UPDATE:** She has now locked herself out of her flat, and even refusing us offering her a chair to sit on while she waits. We have managed to get in touch with her son and it turns out these were actually his keys as she had already lost hers. I knew she was struggling with keys but this is the first time there hasn't been anyone with a spare to let her in and get a new one cut. Locksmith is on the way.

I have submitted an AP referral with the updated info and asked that my neighbours do the same. We have also managed to speak to the sister but she keeps asking us to call our neighbours son, which hasn't been overly helpful. She did inform us that she helped her shower etc on Friday, but it seems that she may have issues going to the bathroom or cleaning herself after :( so her hygiene is still an issue. I am hoping that social work can help following the referrals.


Speaking to charities they seemed surprised that she does not take any medication or has some sort of support based on her condition, but obviously I was unable to talk through any medical history or give any information about healthcare referrals. They haven't been able to offer much additional advice or support at the moment as I'm not a relative and she is refusing help.


Thank you for your advice all. I really hope it works out.
