Who makes legal decisions when putting a parent in a nursing home the granddaughter or children of grandparent?
- It is generally the adult children of the elderly person that tries to get their parent into a nursing home if the elderly person is no longer competent to look after themselves, but in many States and in Canada this has to be doctor approved for the security of that elderly parent because some elderly parents are quite capable of living with their grown children or even on their own. However, either in a Will or if the elderly person is lucid (thinking very clearly) they can name anyone to become Power of Attorney to care for them if they do not trust their adult children's decisions.
What else can I help you with?
Is it voluntary to go to a nursing home?
In some cases it is voluntary and in other cases it is not. Seniors who give Power of Attorney for medical decisions, usually to their children, may have no choice in the decision to go to a nursing home.
Do nursing home residents make their own decisions?
Decisions are made by each nursing home resident unless he or she has signed an advanced directive giving this authority to someone else
Why you must look after our parents and grandparents?
There are many reasons a family may take care of the grandparents. One reason is that the grandparent(s) are unable to take care of themselves, which can happen for multiple reasons. Maybe the grandparent is mentally ill. Maybe the grandparent can not do things without help, such as cleaning or cooking. The grandparent may recently have had surgery and not be able to do things for themselves. The grandparent may have physical problems or health problems. The grandparent may not have enough money to pay for someone else to care for them or for a rest home/nursing home.
