Have Aunt (78) showing moderate paranoia and dementia. How to help?

Afraid of her living alone. She moved 3 weeks ago because she believed her neighbor was breaking into her home. This went on for 4 years. Now this morning we got a call someone broke in and left a note and stole some of her thing. She lives alone with her dog and I am concerned for her safety. How or what can the family do to help?

Ask to see the note, for one thing. Check on her at her home and if conditions are very bad, consider contacting adult protective services. Can you get her in for a medical and neurological evaluation?
