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.

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").

Neither your brother nor you should be spending money on your mother’s care.
You have POA. Your mother says she “ suffers” all day in front of the TV . She can do the same in a facility either near you or where she lives now so her boyfriend can visit. If Mom hasn’t got the funds for AL or her needs or more than AL can provide look into SNF and Medicaid.
I’m sorry but not many options for Mom since she needs fulltime aides. Mom may want to still live near her partner so he can visit . I would ask her.
You cannot conceivably keep up with either the cost or the physical caregiving and travel you are doing.
Someone who is transplanted needs solid one on one care also, and for some time after transplant. A transplant team will not consider anyone for transplant who doesn't have this care in place.
This is a case where the children way well die before the parent. Where will that leave the unplaced parent? Well, not in a good place if the remaining caregiver is 90 generally.
I would not take her from her loved one to be by you. But she must be placed and he can either accept placement with her or visit her daily knowing she is cared for. You can visit when you can and return to being a child, not a caregiver.
I don't see any option but placement. But no one can make that choice but you; you are the one with POA.
If the boyfriend is controlling, I'm not sure I'd tell him you are about to remove her permanently from the home... you will have to gauge that situation. But I would consider telling his family/PoA in advance, giving them the move-out dates.
The only other option is for him to move with her. If you think he can handle this decision (and is able to make it on his own) then he can decide if he goes with her. Otherwise there is now no other option.
Who is currently paying for the aids? I hope it's not you or anyone else who is not your Mom or the boyfriend...?
Before you move her I would consult with a Medicaid Planner for your home state, then maybe consult with her doctor to see if she qualifies for LTC, which is covered by Medicaid (if she also qualifies financially). My MIL is in a very lovely LTC facility where she gets great care and lots of social exposure.
Please do not pay for any of her care going forward... it is unfair to yourself and your family and totally unsustainable unless you have very robust financial resources.
