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.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information").

You are not the general POA.
We have told you over and over that the General POA is responsible for almost everything as regards your elder.
This has been so ongoing.
Please speak with your attorney who by now will have explained to you exactly what powers you have (which amount to almost nothing).
A general POA has all of the powers in his/her document. Which are often a LOT, and that includes placement and moves.

https://www.nerdwallet.com/article/investing/estate-planning/health-care-proxy#:~:text=No%2C%20typically%20there%20is%20no,legally%20enforceable%20in%20your%20state.
Is a health care proxy financially responsible?
No, typically there is no financial burden to being a proxy, and they will not be required to pay medical costs related to their decisions. Consult an experienced estate planning attorney for advice about your circumstances and to ensure that your health care proxy designation is legally enforceable in your state.
What is the difference between a POA and a healthcare proxy?
In this scenario, their Financial POA can legally step in and help out. They can even perform important functions such as managing investments and real estate assets. A Health Care Proxy cannot perform any of these functions. Instead, their legal agency lies strictly in healthcare decisions.
In addition to what I've posted here, there is a TON more info available to you on Google about your role as a H CP and the roles of POA.
I have said before, all your POA is for is to carry out Moms wishes with the doctors and Nurses. Your POA in only invoked if Mom is not competent to make health decisions. You don't need a case manager. Your responsibilities are not that broad.
"the party responsible to making health care decisions when the principal party is unable to make said health care decisions for him or herself". These are decisions REGARDING HEALTH CARE OPTIONS.
They have nothing to do with general POA which is held in your case, as you told us, by another family member.
Your questions are repetitive, D.
This concerns me regarding your ability to serve as any responsible party.
Please discuss, as we have suggested many many times with your attorney.
Opinions of random strangers on a forum (including my own) are worthless.
Are you trying to become the Medical POA? The LO must be of sound mind in order to change or add any directives.
If the POA refuses to extend funds for meds exactly how do you think you will do this?
Please provide more information.
