My mother's paid caregiver only wants mom for her income and she won't let my mom talk to me anymore. Mom has dementia. Mom's caregiver's daughter (who is actually one of my mom's out of state grandchildren) took my mom to the bank a couple of years ago and made mom sign POA over to her even though I had POA. My mom doesn't even remember doing that.
I'm pretty sure this woman has slowly been psychologically poisoning my mom against me because my mom's income is her only income.
The caregiver keeps using the excuse of Covid19 to keep me from seeing and talking to my mom. When I am allowed to see my mom from a distance mom isn't allowed to talk to me. But when other relatives talk on the phone to her, she talks fine except she forgets things.
I keep reading once someone gets hold of your elderly parent they basically have full control and even elderly attorneys can't get them back to their family.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

I would go back to that lawyer and see what can be done.
If you have proof that money is being misused you can report the Elder Financial Abuse to APS and they can look into it.
There is no reason if proper precautions are taken that you can not see your mom. Even facilities are allowing visits through windows. And in AL residents are free to come and go. (although visitors are not permitted in. And at End of Life exceptions are being made to the no visitors)
