Man got tricked and is now in a Memory Care Unit

[Katrinacat@999]

He seems to still be fairly alert and oriented. His sister is his POA. He said he cannot get his own money out of the bank because of his sister. He told me he wants to hire an elder care lawyer to get released. However, he can't get into his bank to get the money needed. What should he do to get out of the Memory Care Unit? Florida.

How exactly was the fellow “tricked” to being in a memory care unit?

Why do you believe his sister is not looking out for his best interests?

Have you spoken to his sister about his (and your) concerns?

If he is a senior citizen, he can find legal assistance through resources listed in the link below. Check the listings under Assistance for Elders:

Refer the matter to your supervisors and, except as directed, stay out of it.

You’re welcome, Katrinacat. Thanks for the thanks.

A "power of attorney" doesn't prevent the person from acting. A guardianship/conservatorship (depending on the state) could.
