How do I obtain support for my elderly sick neighbor under the current circumstances. 
He doesn’t have Coronavirus, his wife is very concerned about him and at her wits end.

She is talking to a dr and giving him prescribed medication which doesn’t seem to be helping him. I don’t know how to advise her. Please any suggestions.

I hope the above suggestions assist in obtaining help. .Back in the UK, the elderly and the vulnerable are being automatically contacted by local  Social Services, The Benefits Agency and their own G.P surgery in order to support them through this emergency period ,including provision of required medicine and food supplies.

Hopefully the same is available in Spain .

Maureen, It's really public spirited of you to try to help your neighbour .
