I've had one experience.

My MIL was hired as a caretaker for a family friend's elderly mother with dementia. She discovered that the daughter (MIL's friend) was draining the mother's finances to go gambling (and screwing her siblings out of any inheritance). She ended up quitting because she felt she could not be the person that enabled this behavior. Daughter was pissed that she had to put her mother in a nursing home (cutting into her gambling "budget"). The daughter has not spoken to my mother since she quit.

It's an ugly disease. In some ways worse than drug addiction because "it's just money". They refuse to see their problem because it's not a physical addiction.
