Planning ahead is excellent idea rather than waiting for an emergency.

This article has helpful information on what documents and other things that should have as you age.

I would also suggest checking what local resources are available. Eldercare is one organization that can provide information you may be looking for:
https://eldercare.acl.gov/Public/Index.aspx
You may ask friends and relatives who have had experience with local facilities.

Check your state's Humans Services web site, example, MN has this site: https://mn.gov/dhs/people-we-serve/seniors/

Is your mom currently living independently?

Thanks for the articles!

I've had POA for over 20 years now. She doesn't have any real property or an estate to settle, think the biggest challenges will be getting her into the best place for her.
