Hi All
Can anybody help or had any experience of using a EPA to control the care aspect of a dementia resident in a CH.
In 2005 when my wife was, with some difficulty still able to write, we took out an EPA. This was 2yrs before the LPA for healthcare came into existence and now I want to have a say in her treatment. She cannot of course sign anything now so my question is therefore whether an EPA has any standing for treatment.
What is the legal position or is there anyway of obtaining an LPA for healthcare at this late stage?
