HI All
i am the POA for my mom who has early on set Alzheimer's, i am concerned that i cant keep an eye on all the money she has,
let me explain.
I have visibility and access to the bank account, although Mom is still self sufficient and still goes shopping for herself and lives on her own and on occasions will with draw money because she believes she may need it.
An instance where a sum of cash has been miss placed which she withdraw and put away starts my concern, followed by a visit from a local who has fell on a little hard time and Mom likes to help.
i know she has helped with food and the odd pound here in the past so how do i protect the cash on hand or in purse especially when she draws out large sum to at least the daily allowance from the ATM and restrict mom to card transaction only.
can remove most of the money from the account if only to reduce the exposure to lose but this does not resolve the issue.
We are also having trouble with the Meds, we have had them in blister packs week and Day indicated on them we phone every day to confirm consumption and visit to see meds taken correctly.
we have found that even with phone calls and visits the MEds are still out of sorts on days with some taken some not.
We have now reverted to paying for a person (family Friend) to go in 6 hrs a week but still the Meds are incorrectly taken?
any info advice, clubs, support, organizations that can help us build a better robust plan would be helpful, or if you have trodden this path and have advice that would be great.
Regards
