Also, if your brother is living on the system, it would be to his benefit to have as little money as possible coming into his name. I'd be surprised that he was qualifying if he was getting her income, retirement, pension, etc, into an account with his name on it. I'd follow the paper trail to see what is actually there.

Your post title says that she lives in Assisted Living. Is he her Durable Power of Attorney? If so, then I might seek legal advice about a Guardianship so you can get control of the funds for her care.

You might also contact Social Security about becoming her Beneficiary Payee. That is the person that Social Security authorizes to handle her payments. There is a procedure for it and would override any POA. There is info about it on the Social Security Website.

So, is she in assisted living or in a hotel room with your brother?

If you feel she's not being adequately caref for, call APS.
