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.

If you take this further, you are certainly going to need more information about him and his ‘living situation’, before you can prove that your option will be better. It would be sensible if you could get all the parties together on this, rather than making it an expensive and destructive fight.
When you say a state assisted living home, do you mean a county Medicaid facility? Is your Mom on Medicaid? Is he? I would prevent this move, and not sure it is even possible if she's not on Medicaid (if I'm reading this situation correctly).
I also agree that if guardianship is the only way to stop this move, I would do so. It's not about "family consent" it's about who has the legal authority to make the decision on your Mom's behalf.
Your question is for an attorney. You may need to seek a general POA from your mother if she is competent to give that or you may need to get guardianship of her if she is not. If the hubby fights the guardianship he may win.
Good luck.
You can stop him from visiting and calling if someone has DPOA. Guardianship is the best thing. It overrides any POA. But its expensive. Does Husband have the mental capacity to do what is needed to transfer her? He will need to make sure there is a bed where he lives. Can he show that she can pay her way privately and if not, can he fill out forms for Medicaid. Give the AL 30 days notice. Set up transportation for her and move all her things.
If possible try to get both. Your best bet though is talk to a lawyer in your state.
All your medical poa does is make sure Moms wishes concerning her health are carried out. If there is a health crisis not mentioned in the POA, then u make the decision based on what Mom would want.
