Do your residents need a Power of Attorney in place?

When someone enters a care home, it is important that they or their families put safeguards in place to protect themselves and their interests.  Having a Power of Attorney (POA)  in place is not mandatory but it can make things a lot clearer, particularly if the person lacks capacity or should something happen to them.
