I don't see how the loan fits into all this ... is that going to be counted as an asset if you apply for Medicaid? Is your aunt making payments on it? Does she expect to ever pay it back? Anyway, what does that have to do with Mother's long-term care?

My suggestion is that your and your sister do what is best for your mother, as well as you can determine that. Let Aunt fuss. Let her go to court if that is what she wants to do. If she has no case, that won't go very far. "Sorry, Aunt, I'm sure you have Mother's best interest at heart, but we don't agree with you. As POA, we have the responsibility to make decisions and act on them. You go ahead and do whatever you feel you must. We are moving forward with planning for Mother's future."

If your mother is getting worse, either more in-home care is required, or long-term care placement is appropriate. Make that decision considering such factors as the kind of care Mom needs, what she wants, what you can reasonably handle, and financial considerations. That is really enough to juggle, without adding in Aunt's opinion.

Stand firm for your mother. Good luck!
