POA Registry for the Retirement Home Community

Standardizing Intake, Promoting Secure & Comprehensive Resident Care

Unreliable POA Data and Intake Gaps

Your admissions and care management teams are often required to accept a Power of Attorney (POA) for both finance and personal care as part of the intake process. However, the lack of standardization forces your staff to spend valuable time trying to verify old, ambiguous, or possibly revoked POAs, and struggle to confirm a new resident’s current capacity to sign housing contracts or care agreements.

This creates a high-risk scenario that leads to family disputes, delayed admissions, and significant liability when a financial POA is misused by an agent.
