[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]All the more reason to get POA or at least add yourself as a second on accounts while the parent is still of sound mind. [/b]So you can at least check balances and look for irregularities. Also don't just blindly trust aides or give them a chance to do harm. This is one case where "throwing money at the problem" (hiring a ton of aides in your place) won't work. You have to be there and be involved. [/quote] Ideally, yes. The problem is that when some parents are "still of sound mind" they think it (dementia and other memory loss/cognitive decline) will won't happen to them. They don't want their kids "meddling in their business" etc. At least, that's how it was with my parents and with my Dad's parents. [/quote]
