Sunny,
All you have to do is call the "council on Aging". They will send an
ombudsman or go themselves. So hard when you live far away. Hugs to
you.

I will call the Council on Aging on Monday. My sister has full power
of attorney for my mom and control of all her finances. I suspect
she's got pretty iron clad ability to do what she does.

Even so, I believe, and I'm no expert here, that your sister might have to
spend the money in ways that benefit your Mom and might have some limits on
her authority.

I'm with Maureen. I strongly doubt that neglecting your mom by refusing
whatever comfort she can afford is authorized by any power of attorney.
Power of Attorney just doesn't work that way. Call the Council, Sunny. You
can't go but that doesn't mean you can't raise a bit of a ruckus. Polly
