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, based on what you have shared above - things are definitely dramatic and chaotic. It doesn't sound to me like your elder law attorney is working out well for you in this situation.
I cant pull up your past posts, so what is unclear is your Mom's decision making status. Is she still competent? If not, who is POA?
Besides eviction you may have some other options, but need the right legal advice.
Depending on your mom's status, financial assets and who is POA there may be avenues, including could you literally take rent from her assets/ estate while she is now at your house? Only good legal advice can answer this.
Never understood how the homeowner gets kicked out of their own house when a person living with them places a complaint. That could be a BF/GF thing or just a roommate. I never understood protecting squatters either.
Meanwhile call APS yourself, open a case explaining what you did to us and giving them permission to contact your attorney. Tell them your Mother is in grave danger now with a predatory (use that word) trying to take her care over in your absence. Report all phone calls recorded if you are able to APS. Keep a careful diary. These are usable in court.
Now you will have to pay for a place to live, and you will no longer be able to pay the bills for the house. (I would continue to pay the taxes, because when this mess is eventually over, you will still own the house). But APS should get your parents placed in a hurry once utilities and such are shut off.
Edit: Perhaps you can get a message to your mother through someone else to let her know that you are not legally allowed to communicate with her because of the restraining order. She may not even be aware of the gravity of what she has done yet. Maybe if you can get that message to her she will withdraw the restraining order.
Sorry you are going through this awful situation. My friend went through similar with a grifter, father's new "girlfriend", who got a restraining order against her so she couldn't come within something like 100 yards of her 90 y/o father.
"you need a different lawyer."
Good luck selling with a difficult tenant that won't leave.
