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.

You cannot solve this, if he leaves AL he leaves, let him figure it out.
I would sit back and enjoy the peace, as it won't last, he'll be back.
It's very possible for a person with a form of dementia to be able to remember three words ten minutes later. Or count backwards from ten. His other behaviors are the indicators.
If you have the POA, have him picked up by the police and brought to the ER. They will hold him for an evaluation.
In the meantime, why was he in AL if he functions so well?
You should tell your sibling that either they take over the POA or you will ask the hospital to appoint a social worker to do it. Get your name off of those documents as soon as possible.
Nothing will get done for your father until a crisis happens. Unfortunate as this sounds, it's true. Don't take responsibility for it.
How did you get him chucked away into ALF while you stayed home if he has no dementia?
No, a POA cannot be inforced unless the courts adjudge someone incompetent, and there needs to be medical evidence to that effect.
The first step, of course, is to see an attorney ASAP as in TODAY to get your finances divided so that your money is safe. That should have been done day one of the irratic spending.
Other decisions, such as a divorce, can come after.
Sure do with you luck. Sounds like a nightmare and one that could financially wipe you out if you aren't careful. See an attorney NOW.
