Hi All
Dad whose lived with me for getting on for 5 years is likely to move into permanent care in the next few months.
I have POA for financial but not welfare. Its too late to apply for that now as he was diagnosed with mixed dementia 4 years ago and wouldn't be considered to have the capacity to make the decision over welfare now. My question is should I apply to be a deputy to make welfare decisions? Mum also with dementia spent the last year of her life in care and it didn't come up that I needed any authority other than being her daughter.
If any of you have come up with problems not having any legal authority i would like to know.
He has spent about 8 periods of respite in the home he's going to . So he is known to them as am I.
Thanks for any help xx
