Dementia and Power of Attorney: Medical and Financial Power of Attorney for Dementia

Welcome to the place where I share dementia tips, strategies, and information for family members caring for a loved one with any type of dementia (such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy Body dementia, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, etc.)

Today’s video is all about Power of Attorney. Make sure to stay tuned to the end when I specifically answer basic POA questions from another Careblazer. Things you will learn in this video include:

What is a Power of Attorney

Should you or your loved one have a Power of Attorney
How does a power of attorney help and when can I use a power of attorney?

What’s the difference between a medical and financial power of attorney?

Can more than one person be a power of attorney?

As always, if you have a question about dementia, leave it in a comment below, or on my FB page, and I will try to do a future video answering your question. I really want to make Careblazers as helpful as possible to you so let me know what would be most helpful to you!

In case you haven’t met me, my name is Natali Edmonds and I am a board certified geropsychologist. That means that I am a clinical psychologist who specializes in working with older adults. One day, while hiking a trail, I came up with the idea for Careblazers and I decided to see if posting videos online could provide help to the many other Careblazers in the world who don’t get to have help come directly to them in their homes. I hope that this work helps you in some way on your caregiving journey.
