By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Does she have dementia, that you know of? Have any folks who live close by been refused permission to see her? Do you have a trusted friend who can visit and report back?
This is the page that will lead you to the correct contacts. If the accountant is not in fact her legal guardian but does have POA for her, they will still be able to tell you what oversight structures are in place. You'll feel better once you've spoken to them and found out what's best to do.
I know that can't be true, but have no way of checking it out. She's at his mercy. He sold her car (without telling her), doesn't give her much money, and has fired anyone that gets close to her, ie. people that have been hired by him to take care of her, all her friends, and has tried to isolate her. She is somewhat competent, but he keeps telling her she's delusional, or not competent. Now she's confused. We are in Florida, she is in New Jersey. She has always been good to everyone, and now I feel she needs help.
If I call him, I'm afraid he will isolate her from us. She's a retired Phys Ed teacher and
probably has a retirement fund that keeps her financially sound, but she is worried that she may wind up homeless, since he sold her car without her knowledge, or approval. After reading the above comments, I'm really concerned.
Good thing you are a strong woman.
Guardian is different. He must report to the state how he is spending her money.
Anyone can appoint whomever they wish to be their medical POA and their financial POA, or one person do both. Curious why you think the State is involved with this? Or did the State gain guardianship of your friend?
