Answer

How can neighbours on Mallorca spot warning signs in an elderly household?

Possible warning signs include repeated loud arguments, missed appointments, someone who suddenly stops answering the door, or an older person who seems withdrawn and neglected. Neighbours should not interfere directly, but they can alert family members, a doctor, social services, or the police if they believe someone may be at risk.
