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:
You can find them online, fill them out and have them notorized, but you are safer in a court of law, should something come up to challenge the document, if you have it drawn up by an attorney. Carol
take a look at a website called "Legacy Writers." I used it and thought they were very professional. The directions were easy and they have up-to-date forms for each state (very important). Also print off several copies...you will need "official copies" for each doctor and financial institution. Some forms need to be witnessed and/or notarized (which I had done at my bank.) Most attorneys just print off forms from these sites and charge you a lot for doing what you can do. If you do not feel comfortable doing your own, find an attorney that specializes in elder law, estate planning, etc. good luck
momjae, you are good, you have what you need thurmandad, start by having Dad sign a Health Care Proxy at his next doctor visit. Keep the original. Start keeping a file of all his financial stuff. tamerack, take Mom to the bank and report the fraudulent activity so they can investigate. blprest, ask the Nursing Home who the Health Care Proxy is. If they resist, ask for their Ombudsman. If they refuse, file a complaint with the Joint Commission.
blprest...It is not enough because various documents like POA, living wills, care directives,etc...have to be signed by the person when they are of "sound mind". From what you have written, sounds as though your other is beyond that. Now you would have to go thru the courts. See an attorney.
Why not have a banker or attorney come to the house to get the document done, helpless2015? Our attorney came to the house, made sure my husband understood the documents he was signing, and he never had to leave the house. Your mom has absolutely nothing to say about his appointment of POA. She signs nothing. That would be true even if she didn't have dementia. Ideally arrange this while she is out of the house. If she must be there, explain the situation to the lawyer beforehand.
My son has the POA for health care and now that my spouse with ALZ is in assisted living I have been frustrated with ambulance service, transport etc. not accepting my checks which actually have both our names on them. They are asking me for my financial POA which should not be necessary at this time. I have been paying the bills for years why should I need that now?
Reading all of the messages here almost drives me crazy and to a bottle and I don't drink. Why is there so much confusion. Even when you are doing the right thing, legally, something seems to go wrong. It's like your income taxes. Too complicated. Just make it all simple and straight forward. It all boils down to greed. Too much of it in the world. I'd rather be a dog than a human being. All a dog has to worry about is if their owner is going to feed them.
My father has always had his name first on ALL documents. Can I have him sign the durable power of attorney, and take the forms to the bank with proof of his signature on the legal document? My father is bedridden and cannot make it to a attorney. Or bank for that matter. My mother is is mid to late alzheimers and acuses me and my father or stealing and hiding things from her. She is his caregiver at the moment. I did have a MPOA signed by a notary and witnesses. Will I be able to have a durable power of attorney for my father made "just for him" without my mother's signature? Also, his mind is fine, it's his body that is dying. He agrees but mom always steps in to say I'm a thief or something. Is there any way around this, without bringing in someone to the home and impossible to take my dad anywhere? I am her MPOA also. HELP!!
