My dad has early onset dementia and his mental health has rapidly deteriorated over the last couple of years. My sister and I both live 3 hours away and visit when we can but need to do a lot remotely. I receive his mail to my address and help with admin, I do his food shopping online, buy his clothes, take him to medical appointments and as additional support have arranged for a carer to visit once a day to make him a hot meal and give his medication. There is a standing order set up to me from his bank account to cover the cost of the shopping and the carers, gardener, bits and bobs and I keep a spreadsheet. Last month he was admitted to hospital with pneumonia and a urine infection which made him very confused. As a result he was deemed unfit for discharge and is currently in week one of isolation in a nursing home. We don’t know if he will or won’t come out but has had a capacity assessment and is deemed to no longer have capacity. It transpires that in 2014 he gave LPA to a local Solicitor and what I need advice on is I have no idea how this works in practice. My question is, now he no longer has capacity and solicitor has LPA how do my sister and I take care of him from now on? Are we cut out of the picture and it’s now between social services and the solicitor? If for example he needed new clothes, or to change utilities suppliers as he’s being continually ripped off by annual price hikes, if he needed a new hoover or washing machine or increased visits from carers. Do we keep having to go cap in hand to the solicitor? His current account is running low but he has £80,000 in an ISA. How could this be transferred to his current account to cover his everyday outgoings? I just feel helpless and don’t know how any of this works. Can anyone advise me ?
