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.

I'd talk TO her.
So many things could have happened. The supply chain is broken so badly--we've been waiting for 6 months for patio doors. IDK if we will ever get them.
Trying to do a remodel when you are NOT experienced in it is a nightmare. Maybe you can help Jasmine out with some sage advice, before you start pointing fingers. A 15 yo car is hardly something to ruin family relationships over.
Only I'm thinking the OP (Bekind2022) has a lot of gaps in the her version of things.
The grandmother is HER mother, not her niece's. Between herself and her brother they can't at least communicate with the niece and find out what's going on?
My guess is the niece is young and wants to back out of having grandma move in. She's probably afraid to say so because she doesn't want to let everyone down.
How many times in my 20's did I get railroaded into baby-sitting someone's old person or kid for free because I didn't want to let anyone down. Too many times.
So, why don't you and your brother try talking to her instead of about her.
You say she's driving your deceased sister's 15 year old car. Was that sister her mother? If she was, then I'd say your niece has a lot more right to the vehicle than you or your brother do.
Do you have a legal agreement in writing stating that your niece agrees to do this remodeling to her home and have your mother moved in by a certain date?
Unless you have a contract with her, you can't hold her to anything.
Yes, time for a lawyer.
P.S. Where is Mom living now.
It could be she has a contractor all lined up but he can't start work until later in the year. With covid slowing down remodeling in 2020 and 2021, this year people have been busy updating.
Unless the mother has a written, legal contract with her niece agreeing to do these home renovations by a certain date in exchange for a propery and a used car, there is nothing a lawyer can do.
And mom should not be giving any assets away. If she needs care and Medicaid, she will be penalized and not eligible for medicaid assistance because of the gift.
Mom NEEDS to see an elder law attorney, NOW!
Did a lawyer look it over?
Has your niece always been trustworthy and true to her word?
What does she say when you ask about the schedule for her gma to move in?
