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.

Do the other siblings run into this same situation? Are they no longer allowed to visit Dad during this time frame? Hopefully this will be just a phase your Dad is going through. Just let the phase run its course.
Would you be able to ask the Memory Care admin to set up a meeting to get some suggestions on what to do? This isn't their first rodeo so they could recommend various things.
If you are visiting a lot, maybe it was too much, not allowing Dad to get accustom to his new home, the Staff, and the other residents.
I don't think that a MC unit can ban you unless your sibling tells them to. Have you been able to speak with anyone at the facility, such as the Administrator or the case manager? Have you talked to your sibling about this? That might be the place to start.
When they both moved to the facility I didn't visit for a couple of weeks because my visit did stir them up and they just wanted to ask why they are there and can they go home. They still have days when the visit deteriorates into them asking all kinds of questions, wanting to go home, complaining.. when that happens I quickly leave. I only stay around when the visit is positive and they are enjoying it.
While I am there I try to be positive about the place, the residents, and the employees there. I never act like I feel sorry for them being there... and point out all the positive aspects as much as possible. If I have any complaints about the place.. I don't discuss them around them at all.
I haven't seen any disruption from any other family visits yet.. but I'm sure if there were they would suggest for the family to hold off on visits until they become better adjusted.
I notice the new residents all go through this adjustment period (some are so angry and confused). Even visits from other residents family members gets them stirred up. One lady just moved in and walks around with her purse.. and follows me asking for a ride when I leave the facility.... which complicates my visit and my escape route from my own parents... lol.
