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.

When Mom hits you call the police. Tell them she is a danger to you as a handicapped person. Maybe then she will be taken to a Psychic facility and tested there.
As a disabled child you should be able to remain in the house as long as you can pay the taxes, bills and upkeep. If not, to clean out you will have to hire help. Great job for teens who want some spending money. Maybe have an inside yardsale and sell what you can. That money is Moms if her stuff. What doesn't sell, call Habitat and they will pick up want you don't want to resell. Other stuff can be donated to thrift shops. Junk can be thrown out.
Thank you for your help! The one time I called the police, I was shamed and openly judged with facial expressions and eye rolling from the police woman, who recently went through this with her mother! As my mom struck me with the cane, she lost her balance and fell! She wasn't hurt and was on the floor for approx. fifteen minutes until the police showed up! I was told I could be arrested for leaving her on the floor! Seriously!! I can't pick her up and due to serious back problems, neither can my partner! Plus, she landed in a place where if I did try to pick her up and dropped her, she could have hit her head on a sharp corner and gotten injured! So, I am scared to call the police now for fear that I'll get in trouble for something I can't help!
Office of Aging is the only other place I can think of. Your Mom needs help. She needs to see a neurologist.
Just a thought, get something from her doctor on his letterhead saying that he finds no dementia and Mom is capable of living on her own. Present this to APS. If they disagree with the findings then tell them to test Mom. Because, you are being abused. That you will wait a certain amount of time for them to get Mom tested. If no results by then, you will consider Mom being able to care for herself, per her doctor, and you will be moving out. Then its their problem. They can then take over her care and do whatever they need to pay for it.
I may at least consult with a lawyer to see if what I posted is feasible. I have never heard of a child being made to care for a parent. You aren't abandoning a child. You are leaving a woman who a doctor says can care for herself. I wonder if your county disabilities dept can help in regards to you? Can you move out and just oversee her? Maybe move, leave no forwarding address no phone number. Then when u get to your new home, contact APS from a pay phone and report Mom.
Take my post as just ramblings. Just something you can check out to see how it works or think on. Like I said contact a lawyer concerning your rights. If you can't afford one, check with legal aid. Office of aging should have a number.
