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:
Pennz1, could you give us more information? Who is "they"? Where is your Dad living? Why was he placed where ever to begin with? What are your Dad medical issues? Why do you feel that your Dad is a prisoner?
If you are Health POA, then it is your responsibility to decide where he lives, and you have authority to implement that decision, under ordinary circumstances. So it will help us to know if there are some extraordinary circumstances here.
Is there a guardian for your dad? Answer ff"s questions so that we can answer you better.
We really are trying to help you. However, we need more background information before we can give any intelligent and appropriate advice or suggestions to you. Each of your questions have been rather vague.
You need to be truthful with us as to what the Court of Protection had done and why they have done it. Telling us the reason for the Court of Protection to be involved in your loved one's life is not an admission of guilt on your part. It is an acknowledgement that the legal system has become involved in the care decisions of your loved one. Some of us have had Adult Protective Services or the court system involved in our loved ones' health care decisions so we have an idea what you might be going through. We just need more details.
We also need to know your loved one's real ability to perform ADLs and IDLs and whether that person needs to supervised 24/7 because of memory or behavior problems or for other reasons.
It isn't easy when a loved one's ability to take care of themselves diminishes. Often we are not ready for this to happen, but LIFE happens. Please tell us more about your situation so that we can offer honest and appropriate suggestions and answers. Thank you.

Is there a guardian for your dad? Answer ff"s questions so that we can answer you better.
When you say your loved one is independent, do you mean that they can do all of their ADLs and IDLs on their own?
What sort of supervision do they need? Is there someone who can provide that at home 24/7?
Under what circumstances did your loved one get taken into care?

This sounds similar to the U.S. process when Adult Protective Services becomes involved and ends up removing an elder from their home to keep them safe. Sounds like there is a guardian for dad.
