Mom suffers from Dementia. My aunt has her Power of Attorney. The family all agree my mom needs to be living in and Assisted Living / Memory Care Facility. A. Does she have to be diagnosed and determined that she is incapable to make her own decisions? Mom never goes to a dr. She is now living with me in Ca. I moved her here from MO after a bad fall that severely broke her ankle.
B. If we take her to an assisted living facility... and she does not want to stay... can she leave on her own free will?
Thanks for the help,
Kathy
It can be hard and complicated to get an elder to go to where they need to be, and the law isn't always helpful.
