I am POA and they signed him in without me. I am in another state . He is in Florida . Does anyone know who you call for assistance to help me get him out? Looks like it might be "against" their dr orders". The conversation with dr at hospital was a few days in rehab to get his strength and transfer skills back. I want him to go back to his assisted living. He can't make decisions for himself and certainly can't take responsibility to pay for his 20% once his 20 days are up or can he? This place does not have an alzheimer unit and they are not used to working with his level of memory loss. I control his money and pay all his bills. But they should have known he cannot sign for himself. I think they just want his 20 days of 100%. And we are out of luck the next time we need skilled nursing. He is already paying off 3 skilled facilities from last fall. I am getting very jaded about our medical system. Any help is appreciated.
I have learned how to be a more outspoken advocate for my father. And there is a learning curve. So you just have to keep pushing. good luck SRL 1159.
As Grace27 said having POA does you no good when you're trying to do this long distance. You need to get on a plane and get down to FL for a visit or let your sister who is there run the show.
There is no such as long distance caregiving.
