My 79 yr-old mom currently lives in an independent living setting, and has recently been diagnosed with Dementia. I'm running into so many brick walls and dead-end detours with information and advice. I'm starting to feel lost. She has no money and is on a fixed income and I have no money nor room in my upstairs apartment for in-home care.
I would think the nature of these frustrations would factor into whether or not a guardianship would be appropriate and would address the problems.
If you're attorney-in-fact under a Durable Power of Attorney, that should give you a broad range of responsibilities, unless it was one of those boiler-plate forms downloaded from an Internet site.
Are the financial issues part of the frustration you're experiencing?
If you can be more specific, it will be easier to provide answers and suggestions.
