You need to call Adult Protective Services with the local Department of Human Services.

They can investigate. If they find that the case has merit, they will file in the local court. If they prove their case to a judge, then next steps will be determined as are appropriate.
Here is the contact info directly from the state website for Job and Family Services.


Adult Protective Services
Florida law requires the reporting of known or suspected abuse, neglect, abandonment, exploitation, or self-neglect of vulnerable adults (elderly or disabled). The Florida Abuse Hotline accepts reports 24 hours a day and 7 days a week. If you suspect or know of a vulnerable adult in immediate danger, call 911.
