I'm aware this is something that needs to be in place; should mum lose mental capacity and not be able to make a decision for herself.
However, how do i get mum to understand that this is not 'will writing' and something completely different.
Mum is losing the ability to write her name (mum was such a beautiful writer!) and this has me worried....how important it is for LPA to be completed and registered. Mum still independant to a degree.....but not retaining conversations etc; the changes in mum are immense in my view; but getting someone else to see this is like I'm talking to a wall..........any time mum has been at the doctors I try to elaborate....they ignore what I'm saying.
Communication with her GP is complete mindfield. I have to be in same room as mum when talking to her doctors on phone,.this is not always possible since I don't live close to mum and can't always be in the same room as my mum! They fail to understand this.
Should I just organise a home visit from a solicitor? I just need some input to how to move forward on this. Sooner is done then can get it registered. But losing time on this....and see it is seriously important!
