My wife’s Grandmother is in early stages of Alzheimer’s and her oldest daughter has POA over her medical care. They moved her to their home a month ago and since she has been in the hospital twice for acute bronchitis. They smoke in the home and around her and have a family of four adults and 3 kids living in a small doublewide. My wife visited her grandmother today at the hospital and was escorted out because her aunt said she had POA and no one was allowed in to see her. Her grandmother wants to live with us and we are more than able to handle the responsibility, I work full time and my wife is a stay at home mother. I feel like her grandmother is not getting the care she needs and has little time left on this earth. She has no possessions of value so this is not a monetary gain issue it’s just making her last year or years joyous which is what she deserves. My wife’s mother and other aunts can not afford to take on this responsibility but feel that her staying with us would be the best choice. I feel that her aunt wants her grandmother there so she can use her SS money as I know they have taken out a loan in her name in the last 6 months. I want what’s best for my wife’s grandmother and need help in determining the best way to accomplish this.
