Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
Social security sent a letter with an appointment for my father to come in. He is living in a skilled nursing facility (SNF). Transporting is very fraught. What are my options?
My question is, why has a meeting been set up with Social Security? My Mom was in a NH and I allowed the home to be her payee. In her 89 yrs Mom was never asked to go to a Social Security office for a meeting. Really, if Dad doesn't show up what are they going to do send the federal marshals to the SNF, if they have the address? Only to find he is in a SNF? You can tell them you tried several times to contact someone and no luck. The letter has no name, extention or email address to contact someone? Three days is not long. Then the wrong place of birth? Do they have the right person?
Are you trying to get Medicaid for Dad? Because his SS will go to the nursing home. I have never heard anyone having this kind of problem. Has someone filed for payee?
Call SS IN YOUR DAD'S presence. About the only way. You will wait online, if 5 years ago is any gauge, for about 1 hour. Then I got on phone, explained my brother was in facility care, but was calling with me and could speak to them to verify what he wanted, and I could speak with them, and together we made this call.
Can you tell us what you are trying to accomplish here? Because your other option, would be a letter from your father's doctors (rather, usually two) that he is no longer competent to do his own executive functions, that you are his POA, and perhaps also take a letter from his facility. You would make the appointment for yourself to do this specific job, as the SS offices don't always have the specialist at each office to handle rep. payee stuff. The you would become Representative Payee. FIRST, however, do research that definition on the SS site so you are sure you WANT To be because that means you are directly responsible for every penny into and out of his SS accounts.
Thanks for your response. A little more background. In an attempt to solve this online I was able to verify identify w/login.gov to request an activation code but then this appointment came in w/3 days notice to show up! We tried calling and they have the incorrect place of birth and insist he come in w/his birth certificate to verify identity. Now cannot even re-schedule the appointment today, local SSA office hangs up on me. Going in person would require air travel on my part, I have all his private identifying information. I feel the only other option is call his US Congress member and as Constituent Services for help. Or?

POA is not recognized by Social Security.
Can you tell us what you are trying to accomplish here?

Good luck. Best in the New Year.
