It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search.

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:
Candysue Power of Attorney is given by the principal, in this case your father, to the agent. The agent is the person your father chooses to be his agent. If your step sister is indeed his POA then your father must have choosen her. She can’t choose herself. If your father is competent to make his decisions and wants to change his POA, then he can. This is best done with the help of an elder attorney.
You don't "get it". The person who wants you to be his or her POA appoints you to be POA. You then have to do things AS DIRECTED by the person who appointed you. The person must be of sound mind and must make the papers out with an attorney in order to get a sound paper that will work for all entities. That person can then WITHDRAW your POA at any time they wish to. So basically you are working for the person who appoints you per that person's wishes. Everything you do must be accountable and must be documented and must be filed with receipts of monies in and monies out in payment. That information is shared with the person who appointed you and no one else. That is all if the person is competent to act for him or herself. If not competent there is no chance anymore of getting a POA and you would require a guardian or conservatorship over the person. That is got through the courts with the help of an attorney. You filed this under frauds and scams. More information may help us get more information to you.
"My step sister has appointed herself as power of attorney over my father"
Your sister can't appoint herself and she doesn't have POA over Dad. Dad has to assign her and she is his representative doing what he wants. For her POA to be effective Dad has to be found incompetent unless POA is immediate.
You can go on-line and download forms. Dad must sign, it should be witnessed and notarized, otherwise its not legal and would not be recognized by anyone.
The best way is to go thru a lawyer. Same thing, witnesses, notary and Dads signature.
People will not agree with me but I think you have a right to see the POA. All you need to see is Dads signature, witness and notary seal. She has to show this to anyone she does business in Dads name so why not you.
