What is the name of your state? MT
From 2002-2005 my husband and I took care of his father. We lived with him in his home and cared for him there. He was 88 at the time. His 24/7 care became more than we could provide so we contacted the other 2 brothers in hopes that they could share the responsibilities. (Example one weekend a month per brother.) Thier response was "No" and immediately started making arrangements to place him in a nursing home.
They placed him in a nursing home over a hundred miles from us and 45 miles from them in another state. When my husband stopped by to visit his dad he found that his brothers had told the caregiver not to allow my husband to take him anywhere. The only reason we can come up with is the power struggle of siblings due to the fact that many people knew that they were not living up to the responiblity of helping out with thier father. So my husband visited anyway and when he went to leave his father raised such a rucus because he couldnt leave with him that now his brothers think that my husband is causing an adverse affect on him and do not want him visiting at all.
The last time he visited the caregiver requested he leave and when he refused she called my husband's brother and he advised her to call the police. The police talked with my husband and the caregiver shook his head and said "hopefully you can work this out" but never backed up the caregiver on making him leave.
Our question is what legally can we do to bypass this ridiculus power play?
