Who has legal rights for making elderly care decisions?
need answer asked:
I have a mother who is 60 years old and is requiring 24/7 care. I have not work in a year for providing care for her which has caused a substantial financial burden on me and my other siblings. We have tried other resources for help but the care she needs requires a nursing home placement. My siblings and I have agreed to a nursing home but my aunt refuses to let us put her in one. Who has the legal right to make that decision? My mother’s daughters or her sister?
Wade
