Mostly Independent
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:
A POA should be enough. But hopefully you already have it. Because if person is already incompetent, they can not assign you. If they are competent your POA means nothing. They can make their own decisions.
If no POA can be assigned, then guardianship will be needed and this you need to prove incompetence. Guardianship is expensive but Medicaid may allow u to use LOs money.
To be placed in a Nursing facilitity there is criteria that hasvto be met. Being evaluated and found 24/7 care is needed is part of it. The rehab should be able to do the eval. Where I live rehab and skilled nursing are in the same facility so makes transition easier.
There are many variables here depending on the circumstances and level of competence, type of facility and policies of the facility. If you’re looking at a particular place check to see what their admission policies are.
When I got my folks moved to assisted living I had a POA in force but the administration said that all they really needed was a letter from their doctor stating that my folks were not able to care for themselves. Other places my require a POA but keep in mind the person granting the POA must be competent and there are different types of POAs, some with limited powers, others all inclusive.
I would still pursue a POA because it can help you with medical decisions, finances and much more.
I believe that you need a needs assessment from an authorized medical provider that shows there is a medical need for the type of facility.
I don't think that you need either a POA or guardianship if they need the care and do not physically object to being placed. If they become combative then you would need to ask the facility where you live what the requirements are.
A long time ago when I was looking to place my mom. I do remember that the person that gave me the tour said that they would do as assessment to see what her needs were.
I did have medical power of attorney but I don’t remember being told that it was required.
You are smart to get things in order.
My mom is an end of life hospice house and there was only one bed left in the facility that we wanted. I am so grateful that she is there.
Hospice care is a bit different depending on the circumstances.
Where my brother was in hospice, they accepted people that were mobile. He could still walk. He had a cane but he could move around.
The place where mom is requires a patient to be completely bed bound, which she is. She can’t even turn herself over. She’s skin and bones and is extremely weak.
It’s amazing that she is in good spirits but she is more than ready to join my father in the afterlife.
I hope that your mom will be comfortable wherever you place her.
My mom is in a wonderful place and is receiving excellent care.
