Find Care & Housing
Graci, do you have POA?
If so, and if your Mom is so bad as to be incompetent in her own care now, then YOU are the one responsible.
If she isn't, then I don't know what to say. She gave up her home. At this point she is homeless and mentally ill. Not a good combo for certain.

You didn't cause any of this.
You can't fix any of this.
Yes, I would call APS about this pending eviction.
And I would not accept POA for a person mentally ill.

I must have already recommended the memoir by Liz Scheier called Never Simple.
If I didn't, order it today.
Ms Scheier worked for decades to get care for her mentally challenged Mom, and along with the social care auspices of the city and state of New York was unable to do any appreciable good for her mother who in fact DID end out of control, homeless. But not before almost taking her daughter down with her. While this book will be no comfort for you it will let you know that A) There is nothing you can do and B) Trying could well take you down before Mom

I am POA and have been without utilizing it for 7 years. Since moving here in 2022, I have been paying her bills with her money. But that is all. I am not her guardian nor her health care facilitator. I don't even want to be POA but there is no one else left to do it. I don't want to use my money to pay for an attorney to get me out of POA. I will call APS tomorrow and let you know what they say. It will be very difficult for them to find her anything else for 1300 a month. Also, she could qualify for ALTCS which is Arizona's Medicaid, but she has to prove citizenship and she is a Nauturalized citizen and left all her documents with my brother and he won't return them. So...the only way to get a copy is to file for one which costs $600 and I would need other proof such as her alien #, etc... I am not going to pay and I can't get any of the required docs. I'm going to let APS handle this as well. I don't want any of the responsibility for her and all her many issues.
