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.

Is it because you're living there rent free, and have a roof over your head?
How are you eating, and buying needed items for yourself if you have no money?
So if the sister who controls all the money, thinks that because you live there rent free that she's doing you a favor, she is sadly mistaken.
She must also pay you an hourly rate for your 24/7 care, at a fair market price.
And if she's not willing to do that, then you need to give your 2 weeks notice and you go out and get a real job that actually pays you, and move out.
I'm still confused why you have stayed so long with not getting paid.
I'm guessing that there's a lot more to your story than what you've shared.
What state are you in?
You can get some , if your moms on Medicaid.
But if your sister is like my brother (POA) he refuses, and refuses to get mom on medicad
So I'm not sure how things are in your family, but I told my brother, he told mom, mom was mad at me treated me worse than her usual bad.
I was going to moms 3 days a week , I backed off to one day a week.
Had this and that out with my brother.
To make a long story short , brother now knows not to mess with me or I'm done, and mom is like so nice to me now. Not a fake nice.
I'm not getting paid, but in my case that wasn't what I wanted , I wanted respect. Now I'm getting it.
Anyways you may have to just plan stop doing to get your sister to listen to you.
If you need the money, please think of yourself, stop doing for mom and get a job. We should never put are life in jeopardy for are parents.
Best of luck
Difficult to get "back pay"
If the POA does not agree to pay you then you need to either accept that you are going to be without income OR you walk away. Tell the sister "I'm sorry I can not do this any longer without being paid. You will have to find someone else to care for --------"
No need to give notice just pack your stuff and go.
