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.

Re the POA, when you get past this issue, your mother and uncle might consider changing it from contingent to immediate. I have my healthcare and durable financial POAs set up that way, as has everyone in my family. That means that your mother or your uncle (or any other POA) can both make decisions for your mother. Your mother can be fine mentally and still allow her POA to take care of things, sign for things, pay her bills, etc. If she wants to do these things herself, she still can.
There are 'low income' legal services for those who qualify.
If you do not know how to research, call your local Senior Services County Office
(City Hall ... County of xxx - senior services dept).
You will need to get MD authorization that your mother is not able to take care of herself. Somehow, your sister will need to be investigated. One way to start to proceed is to have an attorney tell her that she needs to account for every expenditure ... keep records / documentation / tracking of expenses. She likely isn't / hasn't been doing that. If not ... if income is 'co-mingled' she may be legally held accountable.

Second, contact a social worker. I’m sure Canada has them. She can help get your sister evaluated by a Dr to see if she can live on her own or maybe a group home of some type. Your sister will need counseling on her hoarding issues.
Your mom can be in assisted living or a nursing home depending on her diagnosis. You and your uncle can sell the house and contents and use that $ to pay for some of the care for mom and sister. I’m not familiar with Canadas laws, but I always hear how good the healthcare system is…certainly there are resources for your family. Find elder care attorney from Legal Aid and find a social worker.
First the uncle and this daughter need to acquire / secure legal resources and then see what is viable.
Gena / Touch Matters
this does sound like a legal matter
whatever way it’s approached
speak to your mothers doctor and see if there are any options for care and that conversation may generate other sources of help for you
good luck
exactly
home care came out and took photos
my uncle did too
this is why mom is stuck in the hospital
she has nowhere to go
I’ve been told by my government she’s not a tenant, just a boarder or roommate situation
I just ask a lot of people because her friend told me off and I want to be sure
regardless I found this;
A landlord can give the tenant at least a 24-hour notice to end the tenancy if the tenant:
assaults or threatens to assault a landlord
assaults or threatens to assault another tenant
does significant damage to the residential premises
she’s definitely damaged the property
we can’t enact the POA because mom has capacity
she has the right to pay for storage I guess
she also wants to go home and if moved wanted to pay or subsidize my sisters apartment
thanks though I appreciate it
We have a few posters from Canada; I hope they might have some insights. Here in the US it is basically impossible to have someone put into a mental hospital. Is your sister ever incoherent or psychotic? Not sure if you have something similar to our Baker Act where people can be taken in for temporary treatment if they are a danger to themselves or others. Definitely call the police if she is actively acting crazy. Has she ever been hospitalized or arrested, etc.?
thanks so much
the hospital has called environmental health and the police
she was kicked out about six years ago and had to be removed forcefully
I guess they have it on record
plus she’s on record with mental health because they paid for her home and needs
im keeping my fingers crossed she will have to go
If not that might make more action to be taken.
