| | | sibling and father advice
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
My siblings have been nothing but trouble since our father moved in with me. The siblings don't live with me and we are in our 40's. I've taken care of him and done everything for him.
They have turned me into the D.A. over Eldery abuse. I've gotten that taken care of and am out of the clear. It turned out to be them lying. Now they are at it again. They even got my hoosier health taken away and now they have turned me into animal cruelty.
The D.A. said I can't keep them away because of out father living with us. Is there anything I can do to change this? Our father has no where else to go and they won't put him in a nursing home.All they want is his money and for him to die. All they do is spread malicous lies and always turning me into welfare. Any advice would be appreciated because I also have health issues and I'm at my wits end.
Oh can I sign my dad into a nursing home even if my siblings don't want to?
Thanks so much. |

| | | DO you have dad's power of attorney? If not then no. Is dad competent? Can dad make that decision? If not, do you have a court order stating that you are dad's guardian?

| | | No to all your questions but competent. He was deemed that when the D.A. came here but they didn't ask the questions right. They were suppose to go back and ask the questions again but never did. He always ask what time is it and what is the date?
I don't know what to do about. Can I at least get a restraining order on the siblings even if our father lives with me. |

| | | DA office personel are not Doctors ! Perhaps this is the best place to start. do your self a huge favor create log books 3 of them one with notes about things your sibs do. One labeled health notes, simple 3 ring binder, use lined paper and note any , all medical concerns , and reasons a dr is seen and drs recomendations , treatments , daily log notes , They can be simple but cover things worded like , 07/31/08 11pm to 7a , It appears dad slept well , remained in his room but was incontinent during the night, 08/01/08 7a to 11p Dad appeared rested , he woke , had breakfast and groomed, he appeared to be in a good mood. spent the day watching TV and went shopping with me. After lunch he appeared to be quiet , he appeared to not know day and date as he questioned them. After supper he appeared to be in a good mood laughing while watching TV until he groomed for the evening and went to his room. get the idea, it will cover your observations , If you dont do the daily log , at least do a health log note book. This way as things change your dads physician can make use of your observations.  |

You also cannot make medical decisions for him or other legal decisions. You can get a restraining order for you but not for your father. Your father must do that.
