Hi VillagerJudy: Good information. Just went through this with my Mom in Delaware. Took us months to get to this vital information. We finally had an attorney draw up a POA indicating WHO in the family(with another family member listed in case the appointed one is out of town or "unavailable") she wanted to make the decision. We paid about $80 for the att'y to draw up the papers. Good deal, and now we feel much more at ease, as does Mom. Where would you recommend a F/T villager/nurse get a job? I'd like to move down there in the next two years and I would be working f/t. I can't really determine if the pay scales there are the same as the east or west coast. Any info would be appreciated. You can email me directly if you'd rather, that would be great. At mamacrev@hotmail.com. Thanks.
