We have a family here who have not been close for quite a few years. Daughter, who
lives locally, has POA. Her mother has dx of dementia but is not yet incompetent.
Suddenly, long lost brother, from out of state is requesting information about his
mother. Can resident give permission? Just a note to the file? Is there a form that
is in general use that resident (with dementia) could sign that is HIPPA compliant?
Thanks
