[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 194452, member: 1233"] Your mom is very much at risk right now. Your PA sister with physical custody is abusing her $$ and YOU, Jo, are the one who will be held legally liable for it. YOU have poa, and so the buck has to stop wtih you. You MUST contact the bank, your siblings, etc... and make sure your mom is protected. It is so hard to deal with a parent with dementia, on every front. But it has to be done. Since you know she has even taken your mom's BED, and has spent $$ from her account for groceries when your mom couldn't have been there to use them, this is financial abuse/advantage. I know that when my bro was drinking I would NOT have trusted him to care for our parents in a similar situation. His judgement was impaired. the alcohol is impairing your sister's judgement, so the friend caring for your mom may not be an appropriate caregiver. PLEASE don't let your mom be abused. Even if your siblings just want to send checks, you still have the responsibility to not let your mom be taken advantage of or abused. I am so sorry this is happening. [/QUOTE]
