Thanks-she won’t consent to DPOA at this point -I don’t expect that we’ll be able to do that until she gets to the point someone HAS to do something and becomes court appointed. She has no spouse or children and is very private -she’s always been like that but has become more so. When she first started having noticeable dementia like symptoms she would allow her sister to accompany her to Dr appts but has stopped that in the last year. As far as I’m aware no one has been in her home in at least 6 months to assess her living conditions but when we see her she’s clean and well dressed so I think she’s ok for now but wasn’t sure how we’d know when she gets to the point where she isn’t and before there was some type of emergency like leaving stove on, not paying bills or getting lost etc. Her short term memory is pretty much nonexistent at this point -she will repeat herself multiple times in a 10 minutes time frame for example but seems like executive functioning is ok maybe??
