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.

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 think you need to get Mom evaluated, probably by a Psychiatrist because there is mental illness involved. Dementia only gets worse. There are meds that can be given. A good physical wouldn't hurt.
How to handle the Aunt? Block her calls but then Mom calls her. I too think the Aunt has some mental illness.
You cannot argue with someone who has Dementia. Your Mom has no idea where she left her purse or licence. And if she is still driving, maybe she shouldn't. Maybe when she loses her license it should stay lost. "Mom you can't drive if u don't have your license". This happened to my GFs Dad and he excepted that he couldn't drive without it. His keys were involved too. Wife found them both and hid them. Sold his car. Out of sight out of mind.
After your mom has talked to her sister does she believe what she was told? If not then at this point there is little to worry about. But if she does believe her then this could become a problem if it interferes with her care.
You might want to discuss what your aunt is saying with your mom to determine if she believes what is said.
I hope I can help.
I have a similar situation, but with a sister in-law. She feeds lies to my mom about me. The details.... Well, I have spent countless hours doing things for my mom, yet, I am the evil one. My sister in-law? Not one damn thing.
My brother, bowing to his wife, dares to comment.
Anyway, I will still try to help my mom as I can. For my brother and his wife; I feel sorry for them. I believe in karma.
In the end, I know I will have tried to help my mom. For my brother and his wife.... I wish them all the best.
Does your mother believe the sister? If your mother believes this out of town sister of hers, why is she allowing you to live with her? Has your mother been evaluated for dementia? Do you believe she has dementia? What symptoms of Dementia are you seeing. Does this sister have POA for your mother for health or financial? Why does this aunt of yours, your mother's sister, so distrust you; one would assume that, given she doesn't live in town with your mother, she would be very relieved to have a family member living with and caring for your Mom.
when my mother and I argue, over little things like losing her liscense or not being able to find her purse that she's hid, she'll call her sister and then boy the hats are off. I've learned to be patient with her but I cannot control everything she does. As far as the sister is concerned, I believe she also has a mental illness. She dreams up the craziest stories I've ever heard and feeds them to my mom. It's really scary and well, sad.
I'm currently working on becoming my mothers POA and quickly. As im not 100% sure what the sisters motive is here.
I'm wondering if there was some legal approach I could take to protect my mom from her sister as I believe she could potentially make her sicker than she is. She's harmful to her mentally. When I discuss this with my mom she agrees but continues to entertain these weird accusations. I'm at a loss on what to do.
