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.

The only thing you can do is call APS and get her on their radar as a vulnerable adult -- IF she is failing her ADLs in her home, endangering herself or having a profound health/medical problem that she clearly can't manage by herself anymore.
Why do you need to find a place for mom?
If mom is competent she can not be "forced" to move.
You could however stop any help that you are giving her in order for her to continue to live alone.
Once your help stops then it would be a matter if she is safe to continue to live on her own. That would be a call to APS and report her as a vulnerable senior. If at any time she needs to be take to the hospital you can tell them that she is not safe at home, there is no one that is able to help her or care for her.
Is someone POA for health and or finances?
I would be careful of the joint account. All her funds are to be used solely for her care and every time anything is taken out of the account it needs to be documented.
A used mobile home is not worth much at all.
You might want to consult an Elder Care Attorney to make sure that there will be no problems later on.
Why is your sister convinced she has dementia? Nothing you have mentioned would indicate it to me just from what you have written. Just having a bad attitude is not an indication of dementia.
And getting back to your question..
Why do you need to find a place for your mom?
I am quite worried about how Mom's funds are being held in your and her name as unless that account is dedicated to HER costs, and has a good financial record of every penny in and every one out, you could be accused of some financial abuse; I would see an elder law attorney.
