My grandmother thinks some family members are after her stuff. She refuses to move, even with my help. I spoke to her doctor about her situation but he outright said "your family thinks you are not safe and are having memory issues" to which she naturally refused any tests and insisted she was fine so going the doctor route didn't help. Any additional tips would be VERY appreciated!!

More detail on each I am begging you this is biggest hardship. Parent was hoarder extreme 61 cats. Hoarders FTD frontal temporal dementia. Has always fought got angry to make family leave her alone to do shopping hoarding behaviors. Enjoys fighting. Smiles evil smile when she thinks she is upsetting you. Feels like she is demon possessed dementia. None of these nice things work on already mean people. Is calm and nice when you cry because your pet died but seems to be glad you are crying.

None of these things work. All caregiving efforts are rebuffed, sometimes violently. I can't get her to seek medical help despite pushing for over 2 years to get her to the doctor. Now she's barricaded herself in her home and threatens to call the cops whenever someone tries to help her. She is angry and belligerent.

At this point, I'm ready to give up. If this is how she wants to die, then I guess there is nothing I can do about it. She's an adult who, as far as the law is concerned, is allowed to destroy herself if she so chooses.
