There's a lot of recourses out there I'm gonna put some links specifically for CO below.

https://disabilitylawco.org/resource/mandatory-reporting-elder-abuse

https://www.ccerap.org/

https://humanservices.elpasoco.com/adult-protective-services/ this is just for El Paso County.

https://www.arapahoegov.com/390/Adult-Protection - this is just for Arapaho County - but most of the counties have something to this effect. You can reach out to one outside of your county they should have a list available for your county or at least know who to contact.

Call the national elderly abuse line. They have to help her. I would give you the number but I don't know where you live.

Oh I would get a lawyer straight away. Make the their/abuser and the company liable for what happened. The older family member should not be embarrassed at all. I would either home the person myself either until they can find a place to live, or indefinitely. You should also contact their local elderly housing and explain what happened. She can get elderly housing based on her income (social security) and family can help with furnishings. I hope they are not in a shelter where they can further abused. Please be the help and safety they need in the interim.

Get a lawyer. Here are a couple of places that you might find legal support:
probono.net
justia.com
coltaf.org

I can't believe the police won't do anything! If I worked in McDonalds in Denver and got caught stealing $5, they would phone the police and I would be arrested. How is that any different? Apart from the fact that your relative has lost so much more. I am angry for you and your family member and I hope you get this resolved quickly. I think it's great that you are reaching out on BP and your family member is lucky to have you on their team. Good luck. Please let us all know how you get on. We're rooting for you!
