My sister and I have never gotten along. She is in a constant state of anger.I saw my mother December 20 2024, when she arrived at my sister's house from the hospitalAfter that visit, my sister has decided to block me from her cell and home phone and does not communicate with meI have not seen or spoken to my mother in six months one week and two daysit is June 29, 2025I called her home phone every day. I called her cell phone every day multiple times and I leave text messages.When I look on Google, it says that a POA is not allowed to keep immediate family members from visiting his elderly motherMy mother and I have a great relationshipAnd I honestly believe she is staying alive just to see meI have numerous text messages from my sister last year 2024 telling me that my mother will not make it past ChristmasAnd now it's six months later and lookMy mom is coherentIf she knew that my sister was behaving this way and isolating me from her she would be heartbrokenJust to give you an example of what my sister is likeBefore her 2 nd marriage , she had not spoken to me for eight yearsMy father comes knocking at my door and says your sister wants you to play for her wedding( I am an organist ) I told my father if she wants me to play for her wedding, she should call me and ask me herself.I did not attend the wedding for obvious reasons.my sister hold grudges in silent treatment for decades at a time and her not allowing me to visit my mother or speak to me and blocking me from her phones is her latest grudge which started December 24 of 2024I called my sister and asked if I could speak to my mother on her phone and wish you a merry ChristmasMy sister stated:"No, I don't feel like having my Christmas ruined"Mind you none of these conversations are ever in person or over the phone. They are all written in the form of text messages.I still to this day do not know why my sister is isolating me from my mother, other than the fact that she's extremely jealous and extremely angryAnd that's my sister....Does anybody have any suggestions?Seems like adult protective services could do something

This post was in discussions. Seems like you did try but you hit a legal roadblock. The only way a POA can keep you away from Mom is if she does not want to see you or your presence upsetting to Mom. If your Mom is competent and wants to see you she should be able to. Did you try APS asking for a wellcheck. They can check for her compentency and ask if she wants to see you. If Mom says yes, then APS can explain to your sister that her POA does not give her the right to keep you away from your mother. She does not have to allow you into her home, but maybe you can take Mom out?

I would give APS a call to discuss. You may eventually need to consider an attorney to arrange mediated visits, where you are accompanied, if your sister claims that your visits to your Mom are/have been disruptive or argumentative in some way that disturbed your Mom. Hopefully someone can get you in for scheduled visits.
