If I were you, I'd report this facility and those involved in this scam to your county's Adult Protective Agency, which ironically is the agency in charge of suing for conservatorship on behalf of at risk adults. Of course, you do not know the whole story, but this place (or probably some unscrupulous employees within the facility) could be using their access to senior to get information and win them over, perhaps badmouthing the seniors grown children. I smell a scam.
I read of this sort of thing happening at with elderly vets who obviously had no children around in their old age. Scammers would sue for conservatorship, and do things like put the old guy's house up for sale at a high price. Gee, no offers. Drop the price and it's scooped up by an accomplice. This stuff got really out of control in Los Angeles I read.
Good luck. Get in there and stop this nonsense.
Oh, if your parents do not have a lawyer, they will be appointed one by the judge at an initial hearing. It could be the lawyer might be in cahoots with the person who is suing, so obviously the lawyer would find nothing to object to. You might want to sue for conservatorship yourself, though I believe you have to put up such a huge cash bond, it might be impossible for you to pull off.
For pete's sakes, what do your parents have to say about this? are they still capable of handling their own affairs?
