friends' wishes?
He had a stroke. He wants me to be his caregiver, when I can find him a place to live. His family has blocked me from talking to, or visiting him. He says that they want to put him in a home, that they are withholding his medical and SSI cards from him. They won't give them back. So, I need to be able to apply for housing for him, and prevent them from putting him where he does not want to be. He says he won't sign an 'power of attorney', especially since his family has been trying to get him to sign one. Is there a document that is less than a 'power of attorney' but will still let me take care of his requests? Posted on 12/18/11, 12:38 am |

I believe there is a specific "medical power of attorney" which would allow someone just to make medical decisions, i.e. nursing home, etc. but probably would not help with housing in general.
If he can speak for himself, though, he can make his own decisions and sign paperwork on his own behalf. It seems as though, even against the odds, you are talking to him somehow. See if you can get him to sign housing applications, etc. Take care, Molly

He went over to a neighbors house once, and my ex-husband went over another time. He wants me to come over when his daughter isn't there...which bothers me a bit as it is her house, but how else am I gonna get this done?
