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.

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.

I would block sisters calls but not before I taped them. I would get a ring camera just in case she comesvto ur house. If Mom is competent, if she does notcwantbto see or hear from sister, get it in writing with a witness and notary. See what u can do about a restraining order.
If your Mom has all her faculties then she gets to decide what happens and whether she wants to tolerate this treatment.
Is it all about you and sis, because, yes, she may be able to arrange mandated visits if she goes to court. UNLESS MOM DOESN'T want to see her.
Did she file in court? It's expensive. So that may be a threat.
If she filed in court you may need to attend. You may need to explain WITH PROOF what actual threat she poses to your mother.
You see your mother lives with you.
She has rights as this being her home.
One of those rights is to see your sister.
So MOM would have to say SHE doesn't want your sister visiting. Once you make your home hers it isn't only about you and your squabble with a bossy sister.
Dependent on whether you can or cannot be in court will decide whether sister can visit ACCOMPANIED by a social worker or can visit alone. This is somewhat akin to a custody hearing.
If she wins in court and comes with an order you do, yes, have to let her in.
Have CAMERAS EVERYWHERE. If she is disruptive then you can go to court yourself and get a stay away order on behalf of your mother IF YOU ARE POA.
It may be time to see an elder law attorney to find out rights here and law for your area.
Wish you good luck.
Siblings at War is my least favorite subject. It tears their parents in two as surely as King Solomon's sword would rend the baby. And it hits parents at their most vulnerable. SO TRY HARD for your mom. It take two to fight.
Now, if your MOM doesn't want Sis around, call APS and let them come interview her.
Good luck.
