If you are POA that helps. If she has not assigned a POA then it is possible that you will have to seek Guardianship. It could be permanent or temporary depending on her doctors diagnosis and assessment. If you are listed on mom's medical HIPAA forms it is possible that the doctors would accept that in an emergency but for long term decision making it would be best to consult with an Elder Care Attorney
Give us a specific question if you will, and we will attempt to answer it. Tell us, also, a bit about your mom, her age, her overall health, her TBI incident (where when why and how) and about what her neurologist tells you. Thanks. And welcome to the Forum. The more information you give us the more we can attempt to help you. And do remember, the internet is your friend for research TBIs.
