POA and family
My father passed away three years ago. My half sister lives in another state. my mother‘s sister lives nearby her. She has been diagnosed with moderate to severe Alzheimer’s. For three years I was taking care of my mother with help from caregivers. At one point for approximately four months I was living with her for half the week the offset the cost that it was taking on her bank account. From the time my father passed till the time I had to put my mother into assisted-living my niece and my half sister were calling the area of aging on me repeatedly the accusations were found to be false completely but it still took a toll on my family. My mother seen it for what it was and had me take her to the lawyer to take my sister off the POA and make me soul POA. Last year my mother was hospitalized 10 times in nine months for pneumonia related issues. The last time she was found in the morning on the bathroom floor. There was no marks on her like she fell. She may have crawled in there, but she had no clue where she was. They took her to the hospital and she was seeing people in the room that we’re not there. The hospital finally said she cannot live on her own unless she has 24 hour care care and if she cannot afford it and they were recommending assisted-living, which is what I did. For the six months she’s been there. She’s not gone to the hospital other than her routine check ups at her doctor. I’ve had her medical portal hacked and me locked out of it. I’ve had her sister harassing the staff demanding medical information. My biggest question is if my half-sister would’ve come up to visit her. Could she take her to a lawyer and have me removed as POA. Mind you that’s all well and good but they’re not going to take care of her and my half sister will just go back to another state.
