Hi I am spinny first time on here I am looking for clarification of a LPOA problem
My sister has cared for her husband who has dementia now for seven years , three years ago her husband,s daughter and my sister had a LPOA drawn up , now it's time for him to go into care found very nice care home ,had CPN round today to have him assessed but it's seems to have blown up in her face even though she has done everything she needed to do he has been in in respite before ,
What she was told is because the Heath and welfare did not sign the LPOA he cannot go into a care home because he is has not got the capacity to agree and thier signatures must be on it
Everything is all set for him to move into care home next week
Why did her solicitor not mention this the CPN said it had been law since 2005
I need clarification on this matter has anyone come up against this problem ,if she has the funds for a care home why can't he go it's impossible for her to look after him anymore
Thank you for your help
