Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
As said, POA is only responsible to the principle, the person who assigned them. They are not to give out any information about finances or medical. If the principle is competent, the POA is usually not invoked. Even if immediate, I feel principle still has some input. If the principle has been diagnosed with a Dementia and has been deemed incompetent to make informed decisions, then the POA has control. They cannot profit from being POA unless written in the POA. They can't enrich themselves. All the principles money and assets must be used for their care. Once the person passes, POA is revoked. Then the Executor or Administrator takes over IMO, I feel they have the right to ask for the POAs records showing where the money went.
If the Principle is of sound mind and is allowing the POA to help them, yes the POA has to be transparent with them.
POA only has the obligation to ONLY act in the best interest of the primary person they are POA for. No financial or medical information needs to be reported to family or friends. Transparency is not part of their responsibility.
If there is elderly neglect or medical/financial abuse than you can report to APS. Be aware the APS will not report back to you after they have investigation.
A POA doesn't have to report to ANYONE but a court. If you have problems with how the POA is fulfilling his or her duties do see an attorney. You will pay then to give that attorney proof of neglect; the attorney will go to court and request a judge call the POA to account for record keeping, money management, safe care and placement.
The judge will be the decider. Do know that the management of an elder who can no longer manage his own finances is PRIVATE and the POA doesn't discuss this with others.
More information about your specific complaints may get you a more thorough answer to your current problem, and I sure wish you best of luck.
Are you the principle? If not, the PoA doesn't need to be transparent with *you*.
If the principle has cognitive/memory impairment they may not be telling you accurate information. This is very common with dementia. You need to consider the source.
If you see signs of physical neglect or abuse, you report it to APS. If you have actual proof of financial abuse, you also report that to APS.
