Hi fellows…
I’m in a difficult situation and could really use some advice. My elderly dad is struggling to take care of himself, and I believe it’s time for him to move into a senior home where he can get the care he needs. However, he currently holds Power of Attorney (POA), and he is very resistant to the idea of relinquishing it and moving out of his home.
I’ve tried discussing the benefits of senior living with him, but he remains adamant about staying put and keeping control over his affairs. It’s becoming increasingly clear that he can’t manage on his own, and I’m worried about his safety and well-being.
Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation? How did you convince your loved one to give up POA and move into a senior home? Are there any legal steps or strategies I should consider to make this transition smoother?
