I am ALL for the Ruckus!!!!!
(Your sister should ask herself if she would like to be treated in
this way when she turns your mom's age, food for thought.)
Of course we don't mind you "sounding off " a bit.
As always...P & T's to you and your DM.

Sunny-- that POA is no good UNLESS your Mom cannot speak for herself.
Even if she makes choices your sis does not agree with. Get online
using the link of council on aging and read the "residents rights".
This is what I did for a living :) Hugs

Oh Sunny, the whole situation just not pleasant. I am so sorry. I sure
hope you don't let the mess effect your health. That kind of stuff is
pretty emotionally draining. Please take care. Sending thoughts and prayers
your way.
Hugs, Taria

Sunny,
Maybe I'm feeling suspicious today because I haven't had enough sleep, but
you should check with an expert on what your Mom and your rights are
regarding her belongs. Just seems funny to me that no one can get to them.

I'm so sorry Sunny. That's got to be both frustrating and heart-breaking.
Hugs for you and good thoughts for your mom.
