Should I Call Adult Protective Services?
Last year, my mother took my grandmother from her apartment, and made her live with her in her.. I don't even know what to have called this house at the time. There was no heat, no running water, no anything. My grandmother ended up getting hypothermia, as well as third degree burns on her feet. As a result, my grandmother was no longer allowed to live with my mother, as the APS *adult protective services* told her. Recently, I found out that my mother and grandmother are again living together, albeit, not in the same house, but regardless. I honestly fear for my grandmother's well-being. I only know the town and state they live in, but NOT their address. Is there something I am capable of doing? Do I just call them and let them know what is going on, and that I fear for her safety, and give them the town and state, or what do I do? I am genuinely worried that my grandmother may end up being taken advantage of, and may not be getting the proper care that she needs for a woman her age. My mother is irresponsible, and gambles ALL the time. She has no job, and I feel that she is blowing my grandmother's money, and they may end up in the same situation that they were previously in. Do I call APS, and fill them in on what is going on, or what? I don't know what to do. Any suggestions, advice, help anything would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

I would call APS. Like you say, it sounds like you are genuinely worried. Keep in mind that they may have removed this restriction on their living together - there is no way of fully telling.
But in short, yes, do call them. Give them as much information as possible, and hopefully they will be able to do something.
Good luck!
