My dad is in a home, my brother had power of attorney but won't give me updates. The social worker at the home is going to discuss things with him (I am not expecting success tho am hopeful). I wondered what recourse I have - mediation, or lawyers? Or are there any other options?
Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
I had a conversation with a woman who did not like her mother's nursing home or her healthcare coverage and said she had POA. It was a short form POA she got at an office supply store. It was not filled in properly and so she had no power at all.
Has your brother been doing all the heavy work taking care of your Dad or have you been helping doing half the care? Sometimes when a sibling feels they are doing all the work, they will shut out the others because they are too physically and emotionally exhausted to deal with it, especially if the other siblings are against what is being done.
