Very good information in here and I appreciate all of the advice. Never thought that I would come to a damn LSU Football Message Board for advice on this situation but a lot of you guys/gals have been very helpful and I appreciate it.
We have a very close office/staff. We have 18 people working in the office, 15 or so warehouse employees and around 15 field employees. We are not a huge business by any means but we are also not a tiny mom and pop shop either.
It is getting to the point where the HR is going to get more involved. The HR knows her daughter very well and is going to discuss her concerns tomorrow. I just got off the phone a little while ago and she has also noticed a huge difference in the past several weeks and has become very concerned about her well-being.
For those who give a shite in this thread, I will keep y'all posted and thanks again for the great advice

If she is diagnosed with the disease she will be eligible for disability. You can let her go but a %age of her income will still be paid. Win-win

She may be taking some meds that are screwing with her memory and there are a LOT of them that do that. I had to go through this exact same situation with an employee years ago, FWIW.

NO!!! Do not violate your employee's privacy by getting the daughter involved.
As a supervisor who is trained and deals with HR, I highly advise to meet with the employee and her supervisor directly. Getting family members involved is HIGHLY unprofessional.
I've skimmed the thread and see Alzheimer's concerns but you do not know directly and have not been informed regarding her health. Do not assume it is Alzheimers.
Does she have a direct supervisor? Her supervisor needs to build a list of expectations and then help the lady develop a system that can give the employee every opportunity to succeed. If the employee still struggles and continues to hurt the business after the plan has been put in place, the time will have come to let her go.
What state are you in? Louisiana is a "right to work" state protecting employers from wrongful termination lawsuits.

Glad you were able to weed thought stupid answers and find yours. Damn I love this site for good info, but it's annoying as F to have 3 pages of stupidity before intelligent people answer you.
Best to her and the company. Hope she recovers from her addiction, that's awful

Jesus Christ, this is unprofessional af. This woman is an ADULT. Sit her down and have a serious discussion. Don't involve her family. What if she has a major health issue that she is not ready to disclose to her family?? What is wrong with you?
