Brother has financial poa. i have medical poa. he doesnt want to pay the increase in rent at assisted living home. (Shes been there 7 years) care is great. she needsmore care. but he wants to move her to a cheaper place. Siblings think rate it too high. what can i- do to stop him. dr thinks it would be bad to move her too
I suppose you could investigate the less expensive place, and if it is seems to have care quality as high as where Mom is now, then the main issue to discuss is the problem of moving her and what that might do to her health status. If the quality isn't as high, then that is what needs to be discussed.
Is Mother about to run out of money? How soon, at this current care center? You do have to be aware of the financial realities, too. Would the place she is in accept Medicaid when she is completely out of funds? Many assisted living places that don't accept Medicaid for new residents do for residents who have been there a certain length of time (often 2 or 3 years). That is worth finding out.
Are your siblings actively involved in Mom's care?
