Feliciap Asked July 2014

I got a call from the home telling me to pick up the elderly man I'm POA for. What do I do now?

I am a poa for an elderly man, didn't have problems until he couldn't privately pay for them. I finally moved him into another home and 2 days later in middle of the night, I get a call from the home telling me to pick him up cause he was causing problems. He just wanted his jacket, they had taken it from him. And now idk what to do.

I didn't call anyone but adult protective services, they are closed until Monday. This happened at 11:30-12:00am. Everyone is off work. So I brought him home, I live with my cousin and her family. I figured I am stuck until tomorrow.

You call his MD and find out what other options are available. Aggressive patients cannot live in an ALF, they need a secure facility or better meds. If he is on Medicaid, talk to his caseworker.
