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.

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:
First stop posting more questions. Post everything in ONE question and add to the thread as needed. I am glad that you posted now that you understand she is in a nursing home. Before you said she was missing when you returned from vacation.
You now tell us she is missing since November of 2021. And you are posting repeated questions on the site one after another with little snippets of information added to each one.
I am afraid that right now you are not coherent enough to get a question out to us, and I can't understand why. I would contact the police in your area with your question if no one, including her sisters, know where your Mother is. It is sounding to me as tho this information may be being kept from you and I cannot know why.
I wonder if you can tell us more. You posted this under dementia. Is your mother suffering from dementia and living alone, and now missing from her home?
If the above is the case you need to contact the police and report your Mom missing at once.
If none of the above pertains hope you will enlighten us.
I totally agree about contacting the police asap. That was my first thought. I believe they have a process for filing what's called a "Missing Person" Report or some such thing.
sissycatt, welcome to the forum. May I asked who told you that your Mom was placed in a Nursing Home? Wouldn't that person have more information?
We really need more information. Here are some questions for you to help us with.
Was your Mother living on her own? If yes, would it be possible that a neighbor had called Adult Protective Services? Or if your Mother was outside wandering and couldn't give any information to whomever found her?
Was your Mother living with you? And you had stepped away from the house? How long were you gone?
If you know your mother's ss #, perhaps the SSA office can tell you where they're sending her ss check. I don't know if they would tell you though, but it's worth a try.
You can also try searching online to see if her name comes up somewhere. If you can spare some money, then hire a private investigator to look for her.
So sorry this happened. It does sound very strange that no one knows her whereabout.

When did Mom go to a NH, someone mentioned it was in 2021?
Who placed her there, another family member or the State?
