What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
Hello
My brother has Durable Power of Attorney for my mother, who is now diagnosed with Dementia. My brother has contracted with a home health service to have companions stay with my mom. Mom refuses to allow the companions in the house. Today I insisted that the companion come in despite my mother's refusal. The companion stated that she would be in violation of NC law if she stayed without my mother's approval. My mother's doctor has said that she can no longer be alone.
How do we obtain help for a non-cooperative person?
Is the caregiver correct in stating that she cannot remain in the home without my mother's approval if the contract for help was signed by my brother?
Thank you
Kate
