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.

Do they have a POA? If so who is POA?
What kind of help do you provide?
Frankly if your parent is cognizant and they told your sibling not to say anything to you your sibling was abiding by your parents wishes. Even if you were informed if your parent told hospital staff not to allow you to visit they would have not allowed you to visit. If you are not listed on the HIPAA forms the doctor or hospital legally could not have informed you as to your parent condition.
You are under no obligation to care for them if they do not want your help.
If they have abused you in any way then you are wise to back off and not have contact.
Seems a waste of time to me.
When a parent cannot 100% care for themselves or are not all there, I think that siblings should share what’s happening with their parents health stuff no matter what the sibling relationship is like.
My help consists of grocery shopping, fix things at their house, pick up Rx’s, drive to appointments, and many other errands.
NO child that was abused in any way by a parent should ever take on their care when the parent gets older and needs help.
Your mom and dad need to now figure out their own care needs, by either hiring in-home help, calling an Uber when needing a ride to an appointment, or better yet moving into an assisted living facility where they will have paid folks checking on them throughout the day and will have rides available to any and all of their doctors appointments, grocery stores and the like.
Your family is dysfunctional(as are 99.9% of most families, so don't feel too bad), so not sure why you would expect anything different from your "bad kid" sibling.
Instead just step back from the dysfunction and start living and enjoying your life.

5 years is a long time. Maybe Dad should not be alone anymore.
