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:
It sounds as though someone has noticed your mother's increasing difficulty living at home with just you two providing care.
If the state gains guardianship, your mom will almost certainly be moved to a facility where she can have full-time care.
Have you talked to your social worker/support person about this recent development? It seems like she might be needing to find you and your brother someplace to live.
I know your recent post explained you were concerned as Mom was falling & it was hard to get her up.
Has that still been happening? Maybe other family, friends or neighbours have been concerned about your Mom too?
See what comes of the APS visit.
It is OK to ask the APS staff questions. Ask for matters to be explained so you understand their meaning. Where I live legal acts specify an advocate must be provided if needed & someone to provide supported decision making available if needed too.
Are you and brother on disability? If so, what for?
You should have asked the APS caseworker what Conservatorship means. Whats Cathy or an aide there while APS was there?
You have been asking for a while now how you could get help for Mom and now seems you have it. But you need someone on your side to make sure you too are taken care of. APS should be able to help you too. They need to know that you are on disability and why. They should help you to be able to be independent. They should make sure your OK too.
Someone has done you a favor calling in APS. They saw u needed help.
Did you tell the APS worker that you and brother are autistic? You should have someone advocating for you. Was Mom your SSD payee? If so, she is not going to be able to be payee anymore. My nephew has physical problems, a neurological problem, cerebral palsy on one side and is high on the autistic spectrum. He has a state housing voucher and state coordinators. There is a Independent Living agency in town that help autistic people to be able to live independently.
You need to get APS into finding you help. You will not be able to maneuver agencies on your own for now. Its a learning experience. Your 29 without the experiences of a 29 yr old. You and brother need to find someone who can help you mature and grow. My nephew has matured the last 5 yrs on his own. I am still there to oversee mainly to help him with his money but he is doing that pretty well now. I have tried to allow him grow, be as independent as possible. APS should be able to find you people who can help you.

I honestly don’t know what it could mean but others will give their opinion on this matter.
Best wishes to you and your mom.
What were the circumstances of this visit?
That is what I thought but I am puzzled by her post.
Can APS inquire about conservatorship randomly or would someone have to file a complaint or make some sort of accusation?
I had a neighbor once who would go for a daily bicycle ride and he got reported for leaving his elderly mother alone in the house.
If the state gains guardianship, your mom will almost certainly be moved to a facility where she can have full-time care.
Have you talked to your social worker/support person about this recent development? It seems like she might be needing to find you and your brother someplace to live.

Conservatorship in my state is for finances, guardianship for medical issues.
It cannot happen without court order!!!!!
My boyfriend has NOTHING to do with this
I think Cathy, Glenn, Anita, Reina, Debra or Eva called APS
Just remember the person/people who notified APS probably did so because they were concerned - for you Mom, you & your brother.
This may help bring some changes. Hopefully positive changes for you all. I hope so!
Am I also correct in that you and your brother both receive disability payments?
You should have asked the APS caseworker what Conservatorship means. Whats Cathy or an aide there while APS was there?
