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.

Possible thoughts: Have her evaluated for mental competency, dementia, etc. Is she capable and competent to make decisions?
Begin eviction proceedings for this leach who has moved in to take advantage of your mother.
Unfortunately many women fall prey to these kinds of situations because they are lonely, etc. They want simple companionship, a friend, a helper, etc. However, the man who's doing this may have done it before and knows an easy target when he sees one. He's an opportunist and I'd use every means available to me to get rid of him. I like the detective idea! Get a background check ASAP and find out if he's done this kind of thing before.
I have a friend who gave a man 'friend' her entire retirement savings account. She was duped with promises of friendship and potential romance. Problem was this was all over an email exchange - she NEVER even met the guy! At the end of it all - there was nothing she could do - she GAVE him the money willingly because she fell for his lies. Hate to say it but many people are gullible and naive. Please step in and step up...if the attorney says nothing can be done, APS can be contacted again - explain the situation - but if she's competent and only foolish/gullible...then there's not much you can do except try to talk to her and convince her to ask the man to leave her home. He sounds like he's setting her up...best of luck to you!
It has been about a month since I located my birth family and while better off financially than I was or am, I'm beginning to regret finding them already. I have never seen this level of dysfunction. It's hard to know who to believe as they all seem to be living in an alternate reality and it would be easy to just walk away, not respond to calls and pretend it didn't happen but the guy taking advantage of my mom's condition and compassion really peeves me. That takes a real low life to do that to lonely desperate people nearing the end of their lives.
As I said, being new to the situation, I listened to both sisters as well as my aunt (mom's older sister) who all claimed the guy was ripping her off and verbally abusive etc but was still not sure how common it might be until I heard him cuss her out while she was talking to me.
My father left her a substantial amount in her trust (7 figures) and I fear this loser VA barfly knows it.
IMO ----- the getting documentation of his spending of her money, presenting it to her before he can explain it away would be the first step into convincing her he's no good. Also requiring him to sign some sort of caretaker agreement outlining his responsibilities and limitations would put him on the spot. I doubt he'd be willing to sign a contract that could leave him exposed to termination for not fulfilling his duties. As it is now, there are no specific duties on his part. He could also be responsible for reporting compensation on his income taxes.
The very idea that this person is isolating her from interested family would be giving me fits, and at the very least, her finances should be directly managed and controlled by her POA, and the current arrangement is possibly illegal.
She is vulnerable to mistreatment based on her age and the status of her vision with NO QUESTION, just for starters.
