Could I get in trouble for my aunts foot fungus?

[Nicholas1302]

My aunt lives with me. She has balancing issues. She told me she's afraid to bend over to wash her feet in the shower, so she doesn't. She wears flip flops all the time, and I noticed her toe nails are turning yellow, and her skin is dry. I think im gonna buy her a shower chair, or a foot scrubber that sticks to the bottom of the shower, so she can wash her feet herself. I really don't want to have to wash them myself. Could I get in trouble for not doing it myself. Like legal trouble?

No, your duty is to not abuse her, not to be her nurse. Why is she living with you? I assume she's not working. What country do you live in?

She was living in a small travel trailer, and I offered her a place to stay. We live in the US. if it matters, she not actually my aunt. Just a friend of my moms that has been around since before I was born. I've just always called her my aunt.

You can only do so much. How old is she? Does she have any income, Social Security, disability (SSI)? It sounds like she needs more than just a place to stay.

She's 68. She's gets 1k a month in social security.
