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.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or ConsumerFeedback@aplaceformom.com to report any complaint.

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:
It sounds as though whoever's care mom was removed from has lost any court battles to continue to care for her? I believe she already has a state appointed guardian. This doesn't happen without family notification to SOMEONE who is considered caregiver and next of kin. Said notification may have already been made, but not told to you.
We can't really have any judgements on any of this without good information from you. That information would include: 1. How old is mom 2. Does mom have dementia and what is her physical condition 3. With whom did mom live and was that in her own home or theirs 4. When was mom taken and by whom 5. Who is POA or next of kin and did they attend a conservatorship hearing And much more.
But I will say this: If the authorities removed your mom from care of the ENTIRE family then there is good reason, whether you personally were informed or not. The sad truth is that many in the know call APS "ineffective/worthless" because they so seldom investigate, or take action when they DO investigate and witness problems.
Whoever is in charge of mom's care WILL BE informed. Whether that person informs the rest of the family of the facts or not, I cannot guess. In point of fact, to remove a senior from the care of all family, forbidding visitation speaks to a finding of dire circumstances. This may proceed to a court case with accusations of abuse. The person who was in charge of care may want to have an attorney at the ready in case complaints are lodged.
Taking state custody/state guardianship of a senior is a drastic and very rare circumstance. It involves court action. There will be/will have been court summons to attend almost certainly.
I would consider the family consider consult with an attorney. I hope you will update us.
I just must add that if your mother's home is up for sale now, this cannot be new. The courts and guardianship cases do not proceed quickly, nor certainly does sale of the home. A court case you are not personally aware of may have already occurred. If the home is for sale then it sounds to me that mom already has a state appointed guardian acting for her, selling her home to provide for her care.
I agree, the State is now involved and has assigned a guardian. You need to talk to the guardian. Like said, there had to be a hearing and judgement. That should be on file in the County the hearing was done.
