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.

Best wishes to you.
I would consult an elder law attorney. There is clearly a very troubled history with your stepmother. None of us can know what that might be. An attorney may be able to get you in for supervised visits in some way. I have to assume you have already thrown yourself upon the mercy of your stepmother? Have offered to make visits only in her presence?
I wish you the best. A sad situation for the elder to be torn between his wife and his children.
I would contact an atty to get the issue resolved.
Sometimes POAs go beyond their responsibilities and I think this is one thing. It could be a control thing. If a child causes problems when they visit then the POA has a right to keep that person away.
I realize that ur a biological child. When you visit do you ask questions or complain about how Mom is treated, if so SDad may have been told this and chose to banned u.
I would wonder what his reasoning is. I may also consult with a lawyer on what ur rights are.
Sometimes children swoop in to try to make changes to wills and POAs given freely by the person; sometimes, believe it or not, biological children go to war with the wife or husband for control over an elder and his or her finances.
If he/she has POA the he/she is the Lion/Lioness at the Gate, and you would do very well to ask to see your parent with supervised visits if that's what it takes. Your parent gave control over things to his or her wife or husband, which is the person they chose most trustworthy in this care. That was their choice. Try to get along in the interest of the one you love. You might contact the Social Worker at the place and explain your position (NOT POA with the POA refusing your being allowed to see your parent). Ask is there is any way you can see your parent. They should know how best to advise you (or an administrator at the facility.) Good luck.
