First by my uncle (her son), now by someone who is not even a family member.

What is your proof that she is being robbed (financially)?

If you have any actual evidence then you can call APS and show up at the door with the documentation. It seems like your Grandmother is telling APS that there's nothing wrong going on. If she doesn't have a diagnosis of incapacity, and her house isn't a disaster area, then there's nothing APS can really do.

You can download PoA forms for your Grandmother's home state and take her to the bank to have them notarized. Once you are durable PoA and Medical PoA then you can take her to her primary doctor for a cognitive exam so that it's in her records. Then you can handle the robber situation.

And, you can temporarily move into her house to make it very uncomfortable for the "robber".

Other than this, you can pursue guardianship, which is expensive (especially if she doesn't have the funds to reimburse you for it).

You can take your evidence to an elder law attorney to get a consult for further actions, but again you will have to pay for this and it may be a slower path.

Call Adult Protective Services in her county and report the situation factually without emotion.

They were called twice, and both times they came out and did nothing.

You can all Adult Protective Services, or the police, or both. You can also call her bank if she has a branch where they know her, and also any financial advisor, stock broker, investment manager, or anyone relevant like that if you know who they are.

Does anyone have her Power of Attorney (POA)?

My uncle has POA, but he is in a nursing home, unable to be rational, and the person robbing my grandmother right now has nothing and is not family.
