The burden of caring for a family member in need of eldercare as their designated power of attorney (POA) can be emotionally draining. In fact, if you don’t take care of yourself, it can negatively impact your job, your marriage, and friends. This list of worries and duties can be overwhelming:

– Managing finances and paying all the bills
– Reviewing or creating wills and trusts
– Working with elder law attorneys to create a plan to financially qualify for VA or Medicaid
– Researching, selecting and managing home care (whether with an agency or private care)
– Researching and selecting a good independent/assisted living or CCRC community
– Becoming your own version of Uber to transport your loved one to and from appointments
– Becoming a property manager to rent out your loved one’s home

This POA support group is designed to help each other through this process by listening, understanding each other’s challenges and offering solutions that others have found useful. You will find others who are sharing similar challenges, and we can draw from our collective experiences to help each other.
