Mom has dementia, her sister moved into town to take advantage of her

Get a restraining order to keep aunt b away from your mom. Tell the front desk people at sunrise that she is not allowed on premises under any circumstance.

They were very unhelpful when we went with my MIL with dementia.

I am sorry to hear that. I would try elsewhere. Look for MRI and pet scan results to confirm. Too often diagnosis is in behavior alone. Coconut oil helps for dementia though--search Dr Mary Newport--arrests symptoms temporarily

OP here: Thanks all! My mom is 73. Was diagnosed with a lot of stuff by a lot of doctors. Normal pressure hydrocephalus (she has a shunt now), FTD, Parkinsons. We will work with Sunrise. I called Adult services (or whatever it is called) and they told me that it was my responsibility, as her guardian, to have a plan and reduce mom's stress and anxiety associated with Aunt B as much as I could. They told me there was nothing that I could do legally to keep Connie away. I could block Aunt B's calls, but Aunt B has "free will."
