    I was given power of attorney by my Father. I originally hired this agency to care for my parents as their health was declining quickly. After my Dad passed my brother tricked my elderly mother who has dementia after he found out that my father had given me power of attorney and Authority. His motivation is money. As soon as my brother got power of attorney he cut off all communication to my mothers family, friends and me. The owner of Buckingham South Ephraim Rabhan was aware of this corruption and witnessed everything. But unfortunately, all he cares about is getting paid instead of the welfare of my mother. Yesterday I found out that he had been lying to me telling me that my mother was no longer under his care when family and friends were telling me otherwise. As I've been cut off from all communication too. A close friend of my mothers and my family brought to my attention that this caregiver that my father felt unsafe with was brought back into the house. I also found out that this caregiver Patricia hacked into my bedridden mother's Facebook account posing as my mom and spreading horrible lies about me and my wife. I've taken legal action because of Patricia stealing my mother's identity and posing as her as well as spreading lies about my wife and I. Our family has been well aware of this care giver as she's been under criminal investigation and then she does this. We have paper trail of proof of this dishonesty under Georgia law.
