Acknowledgment of Disclosures and Authorization
By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:

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.

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:
If you know the lawyer who drew up the paperwork, he should be able to give you a copy.
To leave with Mom you need to guarantee that you can provide her care. That someone will be with her 24/7. That the place she will stay is safe and has what is needed in place. Such as bars in the shower/tub.
With LTC by law the cannot release a resident if they feel its an "unsafe discharge".
I think it's best to assume that you would only post this question if you had a very good reason to leave with your mother, and had a better place to take her.
With that assumption in mind, the important consideration is: Is your mother trying to leave, but needs your help, logistically?
Even if she has dementia, her capacity to make choices is not gone just because of the dementia. Legally speaking.
It might be a good idea to have another person with you who will witness you ask the standard Against Medical Advice questions that EMT's would ask when someone does not want to be taken to a hospital. What year is it? Where are you? Do you understand that if you leave doctors may not be able to treat you? If the answers suggest she has a basic awareness of these things, then her basic human right to choose where to be and with whom to associate with is unquestionable and sacred.
Be very careful if you remove mom and you do not have some legal responsibility for her, you could be charged with a crime.
Why do you want to remove her? More information is really needed.
Your mom has quite the list of medical issues that will be very hard for you to provide the needed level of care. Where are you taking her?
am caring for my mother Carolyn, who is 78 years old, living in a nursing home with age-related decline, alzheimer's / dementia, anxiety, arthritis, broken hip, depression, heart disease, incontinence, mobility problems, osteoporosis, and vision problems.

Ayayay. Find it.
Are you trying to remove your mother from a healthcare setting against medical advice? Why?
With that assumption in mind, the important consideration is:
Is your mother trying to leave, but needs your help, logistically?
Even if she has dementia, her capacity to make choices is not gone just because of the dementia. Legally speaking.
It might be a good idea to have another person with you who will witness you ask the standard Against Medical Advice questions that EMT's would ask when someone does not want to be taken to a hospital.
What year is it?
Where are you?
Do you understand that if you leave doctors may not be able to treat you?
If the answers suggest she has a basic awareness of these things, then her basic human right to choose where to be and with whom to associate with is unquestionable and sacred.
(please don't be a kidnapper though-D)
I'd think twice on that plan.
Why do you want to remove her? More information is really needed.
Your mom has quite the list of medical issues that will be very hard for you to provide the needed level of care. Where are you taking her?
am caring for my mother Carolyn, who is 78 years old, living in a nursing home with age-related decline, alzheimer's / dementia, anxiety, arthritis, broken hip, depression, heart disease, incontinence, mobility problems, osteoporosis, and vision problems.
Do you really think you can take care of her?
Are you legally able to leave with your mom? Are you her active PoA or legal guardian? Why are you leaving with her?
Have you told the admin? That's who needs to know, if you haven't already informed them. They probably have some protocol. Thanks.
