Mostly Independent
Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
My mother has passed away. I moved out and he made friends with a lady and she coerced him along with two others to give them poa. So can I still gain access to my father's home?
Additional information would be helpful. Does he have dementia? Are there other medical conditions? Is this a dysfunctional relationship? Does dad want for see you? Do you cause disruptions with dad? Why did you move out to begin with? How do you know he was coerced? Did he have POA before?
There could be very legit reasons to keep you away from dad.
You don't really give many details but to clarify: who is "he"? Your father? On the scant info you provide:
- the home is no longer your legal residence - you are not your father's PoA nor guardian - your father has a diagnosis of cognitive/memory impairment and so the legal PoA's authority is now in play
If this is the case, yes, the PoA can keep you out and they don't have to give a reason.
Do you know for a fact that this woman is now his PoA? Have you seen the paperwork? Or are you going by what somebody said?
If you think your father is being abused in any way, you can call APS for a wellness check but this might not take you very far. You may need to pursue guardianship through the courts, but: a) there will need to be evidence of his incompetence and b) you will need to provide proof of abuse or neglect. Simply not being allowed into his house doesn't qualify as either. Suspicion means nothing without hard proof of some sort. At this point you may choose to consult with an attorney to see if spending the time and money on guardianship is even possible. These types of predators are everywhere and this is a very common occurrence. I wish you much success in figuring out what 's going on and helping your father.
Simply a diagnosis of mental impairment does not activate POA. Usually more than one doctor has to determine incapacity and doc's are very hesitant to do that.
I do not see information that would lead me to say he has dementia.
How are they keeping you out? What exactly are they doing to physically keep you out of the property? Are you seeking access to your father? Or to just the house and its contents?
