yes. Neglect and child endangerment
Added: If you are referring to an 'aged' parent who exhibits these behaviors, and the 'child' is not a minor --- you will probably have to engage the services of an attorney, or petition the court yourself, to be named as the guardian or conservator of your parent(s). You cannot unilaterally place them in some kind of treatment facility or 'home' without the court's authority to do so.
If you are a minor, you must approach a relative, school counselor, member of the clergy, or a social services agency to help assist you with this problem.
