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.

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:
You tell them that the money is mom's. She needs some things. You could tell them you will contact the authorities. Keeping it, I would think, may be fraud.
Look for Elder Abuse Legal Advice. Your state governor's office probably has an Elder Protective Agency. Do things politely after becoming informed. If you don't get the desired reaction and your mother is entitled to all or some of the funds, move to commencing with legal action by qualified people.
Remember, this is business. Remain positive and friendly because your mother will be living there. Let the lawyers get vicious if necessary to get results. You are doing what you have to do to take care of your mom. Don't make it personal, don't make enemies. By-the-way, some elder abuse services are free. Believe and it will work out.
According to a June, 2020 advisory from the IRS, a care facility cannot seize or keep a resident’s stimulus check. This was published in the Washington Post.
I am assuming the check was deposited to her Personal Needs account. This money has to be spent by next May? whenever we got the checks. If not, it will effect her Medicaid unless you are under the 2k allowed. (Or whatever the cap is in your state) PNA accounts are part of the 2k.
You need to see the person who handles giving out the money. You will need receipts. I would also transfer that 1200 out of her PNA account. Hope you you have POA to do this.
I have an article concerning the Stimulus. First thing is it cannot be used for Moms care. NH is not entitled to it. This is how you can use it:
"Are There Restrictions on How I Can Spend the Stimulus Money?
In general, a resident can spend the stimulus money as they wish, including gifts and charitable contributions. This is the resident’s money to spend on their wants and needs."
I think this is the correct addy for the stimulus check and that NHs can't touch it.
