More details to this question:
He has Alzheimer's - if his doctors say he is now incapacitated, do I still need a court order? If I need to place him in care home, what is to stop him from leaving - he is in late stages but still can walk and I am afraid he will try to leave and something will happen to him. Will the Health Care Directive be enough to give me the power to keep in in the health care home and safe?
