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.

So, according to you, mom was kidnapped. Where was she during this kidnapping? How did this occur? Is she of sound mind?
“He took her to a facility.” How do you know this since you also say that he won’t tell the family anything? What grapevine did you hear this through?
“He could care less about her wishes of living at home.” Your profile is completely empty so we have absolutely no information on your mother’s health issues. Is she capable of living alone at home? Was she care for when she was home? Were you her caregiver and this is a dispute between you and your brother? Is mom playing one child against the other?
As I said, this posting is entirely too vague for anyone to understand what is going on.
Posters can speculate but you will not receive any feedback of real significance unless you provide more information with important details.
Good luck with resolving your issue whatever it really is.
To enter a long-term facility the person has to fit certain criteria. One being they have a Dementia and can no longer care for themselves. The facility does not just except this from a family member, they do their own evaluation and have a doctor involved. This happens especially if Medicaid is involved. They won't pay if a person does not fit their criteria.
I think you may be in denial and maybe some of your other siblings and because of this ur brother feels you will only make trouble. He is protecting Mom.
Were u willing to be Moms caregiver 24/7 in her home? Were any of your siblings willing to be Moms caregiver to keep her in her home? Maybe all work together to keep her in her home?
This was back in Oct 2021 when Mungaray's sister said their Mom has dementia https://www.agingcare.com/questions/who-helps-with-a-living-trust-470347.htm

The above links aren't easy to read as there is no punctuation.
Maybe your brother "kidnapped" her so that you will stop interferring with what is best/most realistic for her? Sometimes the caregiving decision boils down to the "least bad option".
Who was providing her care?
What's his side if the story?
Seems you may see things very differently - be great if your could discuss this & hear each other's viewpoint.
