Power of Attorney Training Event

On a call a family member may inform you that they make all the decisions for their loved one, that they have a power of attorney.

Do you understand what it means?

Do you know why it is in place?

Do you know how to deal with someone who doesn’t have a power of attorney but is unable to make their own decisions?
