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.

That and medicate him.
Ask Dad WHY he wants to GIFT his caregivers?
Does he want to thank them?
Show his appreciation?
Show how much he values them?
Money just a token afterall. A token used for exchange. What he may want to gift may not cost a dime.
Holding someone's hand, looking them in the eye & saying a heartfelt THANK YOU can be the most glorious of gift to bestow & also receive.
I don't think you or they understand how PoA works: they need to read their documents to see what activates their authority *to make decisions in his best interests*. This means it is NOT in his best interests to give away money no matter how much he insists. Usually to activate the authority at least 1 medical diagnosis of sufficient incapacity is required. Someone will need to get him in to his primary doctor or a gerontologist or neurologist to have him take the test. Then, the PoA will need to have the diagnosis on the clinic letterhead and signed by his doctor. The letter needs to say he is sufficiently incapacitated and should no longer be making financial or medical decisions (or something to that affect).
The PoAs then need to take the letter and the PoA document to his bank to get joint on his accounts (and his investments) in order to be able to legally manage them.
Also, your Dad needs meds to deal with his agitation since he can no longer control this in himself. Talk to his doctor about this. This may be the thing that you do first. You may need to use a therapeutic fib to get him to the doctor and to take the test.
As to anger, let him get angry as he wants. There's nothing to be done about that and it's unlikely to kill him.
If he doesn't recognize currency you could give him monopoly money.
Does he understand that he WILL get his caregivers fired for taking money?
Can you tell him he just got 5k last week and has to wait for a month to get more? Make sure he has proof by having some cash to prove he already gifted them?
Getting creative when dealing with an obsession is the only way I know to deal with it.
