Find Care & Housing
The big difference is that a person with a regular POA should merely be doing what they are told or given authority over by the person who assigned them to be their POA. A guardian is appointed by a judge and makes all the decisions (money, medical care, housing) for their ward and reports to a judge.

People can easily change their POA from one person to another or take it away all together.

I think a lot of people put too much reliance on POA. I just found out recently that this can be changed when siblings are involved. The parent is not cognizant of what is happening (or Thinks they do) and sign the new POA.

I always wondered why father got Guardianship and Not POA. I just recently read here that Guardianship is better in that the person who is named Guardian (by doctor's letter, lawyer and court documented) has firmer control of finances, etc. I know that father has financial, land-wise and medically is mom's Guardian. Whereas a POA can be changed. Does that make sense?

As for making sure the new POA is carried out - only the legal POA can ensure that. Court and police and elderly abuse organizations will not interfere unless there is obvious signs of danger to self or others. I may be wrong but this is what I've been reading on the different threads here. I have absolutely no experience on this. So sorry but I was hoping someone with experience would answer your question.
