My father's POA moved him to her home and is not allowing me visitation: What rights do I have?

Call the police, lawyer and APS. She’s committing financial elder abuse and keeping family away from him.

Confer with an Elder Law Attorney immediately. You can also report her to APS if you suspect " control" issues or any other question you have about his care especially since you are being denied access. You are a biological relative. Seek legal help now.... Your father having dementia is very vulnerable to abuse and, " girlfriend's behavior coercing him to sign POA, moving him and denying you/ family access is highly suspicious.

Hire an attorney.

In Florida this is very common, women take advantage of old men, get them to sell everything, then convinces them to either make them the beneficiary or make a new will. He dies and they get everything.

Don't dilly dally get legal representation now, find out what really is going on.

The police will tell you it’s a civil matter and won’t do anything.

2 CNAS reported that my mom was being abused by her live in caregiver & they did nothing. They just told my sibling who had POA the caretaker couldn’t be there when the CNAS were.

A lawyer is your only resort. I went through this whole scenario& it’s heartbreaking.

I agree with everyone saying you need to get an attorney.
I would be curious to find out if he made the girlfriend/caretaker POA before or after his diagnosis with dementia? If it was after it is possible that the POA is not legal.
This might also be worth a call to the Elder Abuse Hotline in your state
There could be Financial abuse as well as physical or emotional abuse.

Seasand: Retain an elder law attorney posthaste.

Agree with Ventingisback below. Isolating your father from his family is abuse. Make those calls. Make his girlfriend/caretaker prove isolating him is for his benefit.

Not Much you can do unless you hire a Lawyer and hopefully they Live in the same state as you . My sister did the same thing - Came to Our home and took off with My Dad claiming " They were going to Hawaii on Vacation " and " he Lives with her every winter . " You could seek Guardianship or a emergency Order to have him removed from her home . Costs a Lot of Money and time . APS really doesnt do Much if he Is being cared for . And if they ask him " Is he Happy ? " and he says " Yes " well there you go . I have been dealing with this for 10 Months . He hardly Knows my sister in California , my Parents divorced when she was 2 and he never saw her . We Live in Boston . She told me " to come and get him " and I went to California and was served with a restraining order . She Had me removed as POA and Made herself POA and Has her Name on everything and keeps forwarding Our Mail to her house . This Has caused me Much stress and at this Point I Have to Live My Life because dealing with Idiots is draining .

Get a lawyer immediately! This happened to me with a sibling & I couldn’t see my mom for 4 years until she went in a nursing home & Alliance for better long term care helped me get in.

Report all of the above to APS and the police. Rhen cintact an elder law specific attorney who knows and understands yours and your Dadsrights. Everything you have documented and filed is in your Dad's best interest. His caretajer/girlfriend secluding your Dad is NOT in his best interest. If he is not mentaly competent or aware of what is going on, an investigation needs to happen, ASAP.
