Welcome. I'm Meg, and I manage eldercare for my mom with advanced dementia from 3,000 miles away while raising a teenager solo.
Over the past decade, I've watched memory care costs exceed $10,000/month, navigated expired IDs, wrangled with tax boards, and learned the hard way that using your Power of Attorney is like learning to fly a plane right before someone hands you the keys to a 747.
As a former CIO and tech founder, I've advised elite institutions including Johns Hopkins University, the New Zealand government , and UCLA on transformation initiatives that require both technical sophistication and emotional intelligence.
But not even my background in tech and innovation could have prepared me for the challenges of caregiving.
This site and the guides we've built are just the things I wish someone had given me. (Instead of me piecing advice together from fourteen conflicting Google results, two expensive attorney consults, a desperate dialogue with ChatGPT, and several panicked calls to friends.)
Here's what makes POAhelp different: I've interviewed tons of caregivers just like you. The banker who spent a decade managing her grandfather's care. The software engineer dealing with family warfare over who got POA. The only child managing a loved ones' dementia while raising three kids of his own.
This site is dedicated to the needs and wisdom our caregivers need most to navigate the complex system of banks, healthcare and government facilities that keep our loved ones going.
