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.

All types will reveal. Headed information anyone family member hard to take . If you feeling unease next time over house go bathroom check medicine cabinet ( yes Snoopy)
Or they want t
You to stay while they do something do so .
Get your cell phone ready take photographs of labels of medicine.
Check all areas quickly. Once coast is cleared. And anything else. Don't move medicine from its locations. Take photos where they at only turn them to photo.
This may seems devious but some answers will clear your mind and look up.
The sister with the POA status may have control issues, grief issues, other anger issues, competitive tendencies, ....the list could go on and on. These types of emotions usually limit someones ability to function appropriately in relationships.
If your mother is possibly on hospice care, you can try conferring with the RN case manager or the social worker assigned.
Do not be bullied by the sister/ POA. It is not healthy for you nor your mother.
Unless you think your mom is not getting proper treatment, why do you need to know?
like many have written below, if she is getting proper care, don’t stress yourself out unnecessarily. Having this job can be very emotionally weighing.
My DH has kept his head firmly planted in the sand over his mother's health issues and even when faced with them--he ignores or minimizes the issues at hand. ANd he IS the POA and doesn't want to be and doesn't 'use' it.
Sometimes knowing nothing is the better choice.
Now, if you think the PoAM is not doing their job, then, yes, you can approach them for answers.
My YB kept my mom's health issues a state secret. IDK why, b/c mom would tell us all everything anyway--but he felt like he had more power or something.
He had Medical PoA and other YB had FPoA and we girls had nothing.
But, I would not have to share the principles medical info with them. My Mom was very open about her health problems. Because of this I felt I could discuss her health with my brother's. But some people are very private and do not want people to know about their health problems.
Hopefully you're not just trying to micro-manage the situation because you're used to being in the loop and are offended that now you're not. Sometimes there is a reason why info isn't shared with others. Please consider this before you cause more work for your sibling.
