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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

And if you have hired her privately she can legally dispense and give medication. (If she was with an agency they would require her to have a valid license to administer medication)
Now her license is another matter.
Why was if revoked? was it that she did not pay a fee to have it renewed?
Did not complete CEU's to keep current?
Did she have it revoked due to malpractice?
Did she have it revoked because she was abusive physically, financially, verbally?
What her father did should have no barring on what she does. I presume since he was convicted he served his time. Unless she covered up the crime or aided him in any way what her father did is not a reflection of her.
Her "trashing" your family, saying cruel things is slander if it is not true and you could sue but it is probably not worth the time, expense or effort. Unless it effects you or the family in a financial way. (do you own a business and are losing business because of what is being said?)
All this said the fact that she is doing a poor job, she is verbally abusive to your mother would be enough for me to let this person go.
What reasoning does your brother have for keeping her?
I suppose it gets down to who is POA, who is responsible for hiring and paying her?
If it is your brother then there is not a lot you can do other than ...
Report the abuse to APS. Document each incident and if you have audio and or video of any abuse that might be useful. Keep in mind that audio in some States is legal only if both parties consent to the recording.
Whomever is the POA decides.
That simplifies things.
If that means your bro is in charge and you feel there is a real danger here explain that danger in detail to APS and ask that they do wellness check on this situation.
What is your brothers reasoning for keeping this woman who is abusive towards his mother?
The aide is not responsible for anything her father did. I hope that had nothing whatsoever to do with her either losing her licence or being fired from her previous job.
Give your brother the licensing information and the contact details for the replacement candidate. If there's no response, then you'll have to think what to do next. Where are the other aides coming from?
If you both do, fire her.
If you do, fire her.
If he does, you're out of luck, but if it was me, I might fire her anyway.
Who does SHE think she works for? Who hired her?
