I need to approach my mother this week about AL. We have had the talk before but things have gone South now. I had to hire an elder care attorney to fully activate my springing durable POA. The attorney found a clause in the POA that says I can actually decide when she becomes incapacitated. It’s drawn up and ready to go. The problem is that my mother has “run away” from home. She knows I am trying to get her moved and has hooked up with an old evil friend to remove me as her POA. My mom is currently at this persons house. When she gets home I need to be there waiting on her.

My mom is hateful, stubborn and mean. Do I just tell her that it’s time to go and I need her to do a zoom nurse assessment and that if she does not cooperate that I will have DHR place her somewhere. The elder attorney told me that if I have a doctor (which I do) and a family member ( me and our entire immediate family) that DHR usually responds quicker. I cannot stress to y’all how combative and hateful she is. I’m very nervous and scared but know I must be strong. Has anyone ever had to do this and what was y’all’s outcome? She has decided she does not want to be controlled and acting out more so than usual. LMK y’all’s opinions and situations with similarities. Thanks!
