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.

In California they are called Residential Care Homes. In New Jersey they are called Comprehensive Personal Care Homes. There are similar options is probably all states but may be called something different.
Low and behold, the facility cost more, and at times mom needed a 24/7 outside caregiver to be a companion and monitor her behavior. A 10k bill for a month wouldn't be unusual. Just flat out vindictiveness of twisteds, who did it hurt the most? Mom. Sad isn't it.
Finally at Xmas this past year ts2 finally said to me that mom would have done better at home. That is as close as I will ever get as far as apology. But, I am a strong believer in karma.
I have never heard of a Social Security facility.
Assisted living here is not private pay either. But as far as small care homes, a lot of people don’t even realize a residential home is a care home. There was one right around the corner from me up until around 2 years ago. It looks like a normal family house, I thought an elderly couple lived there because I saw an ambulance there somewhat frequently and an elderly person on a stretcher. It’s now like a half way house for men. I recently stumbled across a list every private care home in the city on the Internet, it’s several pages long! Growing up there was one a few houses down from my best friends house, it was for mentally challenged people. we didn’t know it until one of the residents chased the caretaker down the street trying to hit her with a frying pan! Will never forget that sight LOL!
Make an appointment with an Elder Law Attorney as such an attorney specialized in all types of elder law situations. He/she can give you suggestions on what to do.
Sounds like your brother is more interested in keeping the money used for Memory Care to stay in the inheritance. Is that what is happening? Does you brother realize when one has Alzheimer's/Dementia, there comes a time when it takes a village to watch after Mom, and Mom is happy where she is? Does he plan to take care of Mom in his own home?
