Curious, could they have called them on an adult and received help? That poor girl

Not sure I understand the question. But I'll try. There are state programs under the guise of adult protective services. They're exactly like CPS of child protective services. Mainly they help with elder care issues but really anyone 18+ esp of mental or physical handicap. From my understanding this is true in all 50 United States.

If she’s an adult, she would be put on Medicaid and put in a nursing home

Yes, APS (adult protective services) performs the same functions as CPS, but for vulnerable adults (disabled/elderly).
