[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Can you doctor shop to get him declared incapacitated? I've never been in this situation, and I'm sure other posters will have better insight, but I've heard that the bar to declare someone incapacitated is very high. Best of luck, OP. It sounds exhausting. [/quote] I feel for you. I'm in a similar position but have full POA. Even with that, my mom is still considered to have enough capacity to make her own decisions. I would go to another doc, and maybe find an eldercare attorney and see what your options are for changing the POA so that you can make decisions. It doesn't mean you have guardianship or that he is declared incapacitated, but you could get him placed in a locked dementia care facility where they can handle this behavior. Otherwise, I guess you wait until something catastrophic happens and ends up in the hospital. From there he can be moved to a facility. Sending you hugs - this is exhausting and so stressful.[/quote]
