My aunt, my father's sister, had him sign a POA in October and in Jan. he was treated for dementia. He has now been placed in assisted living by my aunt, who lives hundreds of miles away.
I was taking care of him for almost a year and my aunt was sending $800 a month to pay for food, etc. but it was not enough. She always denied sending us more money.
Last week, my father got disoriented and decided to strike me with his cane. I called 911 and they took him to a hospital because he was out of control. Now since then, my aunt has placed him in a home and told them not to let me see him.
I want to file for conservatorship, but don't have much money. Do I have any chance of getting my father out of the home and back in his home so I can continue to care for him. I believe my aunt is also misappropriating his money, but don't know how to prove that.
I need help ASAP. Thanks in advance!
Callen3x-Please talk to an Elder Care Attorney!!!!
Probably if you made complaint to Dpt Children and Families regarding mis appropiation of funds. He probably would end up with court appointed guardian.
You could petition for visitation. make a complaint that the nursinghome is dening right to visitation.ADA Advocacy to not be i to have visitors.
They may try and insinuate he is a danger to you.n secluusion to visitors.
I suggest you consult with an advocacy attorney. try legal aid.
If he has a guardian . A court appointed guardian can keep you from visiting.
Try a phone call he has that right also. If he requests your presence then nsg home has to comply. even with dr order no visitors it can be gotten around if he requests you to visit.
did he have an infection that could cause that type of behavior.
If so take a handwritten diary of all that occurs date by date, all converations you have had and may continue to have as it may become very important to remember these things and dates they occurred to prove yourself. It's messed up to have to do this but is in your best interest.
