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:
It depends entirely on the person's mental function.
If the person is of sound mind and able to understand his situation and the consequences of his choices, then no one can force him either to accept help or to move to a facility. A mentally competent person who chooses to sit at home and rot is entirely free to do so. All you can do is bite your nails until something changes, and keep the offer open.
But such a black-and-white situation is very unusual. More commonly, the person is engaged in a battle of wills about whether other people can be forced to support him at home, or fighting tooth and nail to stay out of a facility, or the combatants are using different definitions of "no longer able to care for himself" and of "force" and "has no one"; and there is room, somewhere, for discussion and negotiation.
Would you like to say more about the person who is resisting care and why and what you were hoping to do about it?
Would expect this to depend on outcome of court ordered assessment and decision on whether to appoint a guardian. More likely for cognitive failure than just not doing what "you" think they should, but seek advice if you know someone in this situation and are in a position to do so
If the person lives alone and APS evaluates and finds the person can't take care of themselves, then yes they can be forced to go to a LTC. Like said, the court will assign a guardian who will handle looking into the persons finances to see if they can afford their care. If not Medicaid will take over.
Given someone with dementia and a danger to self or others a court appointed guardian would be appointed when this person ended up in police or hospitalization situation. Then placement could occur. Why do you ask?
I think that they would be assessed and the state would assign a guardian that would ensure they had proper care.
Depending on the financial situation it is likely that they would be placed in a facility.
If you know someone this applies to, they should get there personal wishes in writing and have a fudiciary lined up to help them receive care when they have no one available. I would contact a certified elder law attorney and find one that is a larger firm with fudiciary on staff, it is safer and you don't have to worry if the fudiciary gets injured or dies, the firm will continue to do what is needed.
