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.

If she owns a home maybe she would sell and use the money for a new place to live.
Curious, how far away are you from her? If very far in the time it takes for you to view video and make arrangements to be with her, it may be too late.
So the FBI were never able to trace any of her transactions to anyone? That’s unusual. Granted your mother was not forthcoming with names, etc, but law enforcement have resources at their disposal with long tendrils and access to financial transfers.
Were the FBI ok with your decision to let your mother remain in her home alone? I would think if the FBI determines she was a vulnerable adult did they ever discuss getting guardianship over her to place her somewhere to protect her until you could retrieve her?
Local police have resources as well - they have divisions that investigate elder abuse.
I just wish this situation works out for the both of you.
Withdrawals from financial institutions leave paper trails. I can’t even cash a check that has my husband’s name on it and I’m his wife! I can deposit it but not get cash.
How old is your mom? Does she live alone in her own house?
I would try to get her to me unless she has friends and other family members she hangs out with that are keeping her there. These folks, if they exist, aren’t looking out for her sufficiently if they didn’t realize she was being robbed.
all of the things the OP said she was going to do 2 years ago, she didn’t do.
mom also has dementia.
A security system company could help you to install them, if you do not have the skills to do it yourself.
However, if you are concerned that your mother is still at risk, why is she living on her own? Wouldn't assisted living be safer for her?
