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.

I didn't know what to do, but confided in staff at the day center she attended and they said "no" do not take her. Later, I know I did the right thing. She has so much emotional attachment to her home, that I think it would of been to painful for her. Also, after I sold her house, she asked me later what house I sold - referring to her home as a child. That clarified to me that I did the right thing.
Oh how I wished I could have asked the parents if it would be ok if the 2 older children went out in the hall and played with the elevators :P
I was a nervous wreck after that closing, so I doubt an elder would be able to survive that.
Just make sure all your T's are cross and I's are dotted. Organization is the key. Make sure you have "all" the paperwork in order, call the closing company and ask them what paperwork you must bring. This will be a daunting task, I should know I have been through it.
It is confusing even for someone that does not have Dementia.
All the papers going back and forth, the numbers talk, the disclosures.....
And it will take a while. Even I was antsy to leave when I made a house purchase and had to go through all this.
Have someone take her out for coffee or tea. Or if she is established somewhere now stay home with her and enjoy the few hours of calm.
Leave them home and make sure your DPOA allows for all & any financials to be done. A good Realtor would have had your DPOA vetted when the listing was done as to this too.
Also, Dad loves to chat, and who knows what he would be saying about the house. Dad having sundowning, he might start making up stories about the house that weren't real.... oh dear.
When my Dad had me put his house on the market For Sale, Dad signed the real estate Listing Agreement and he later signed the Contract that he accepted from the Buyer as he still understood the documents. Since real estate closings can be long and drawn out, the closing Attorney let me represent my Dad on settlement day since I had financial Power of Attorney.
Therefore, when I brought the Contract and all the Addendums to the closing Attorney, I also had to bring the original of the Power of Attorney [which was later returned to me after the deed was booked at the County offices]. The closing Attorney first had to make sure the Power of Attorney had the correct verbiage regarding real estate sales.
If the title company will accept the DPOA, just sign pursuant to that. Your realtor should confirm this with the title company for you.
