How can a person in a nursing facility under Medicaid get legal assistance to revoke a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney (DPA) when facing objections from the current DPA, despite having mental capacities? The Medicaid Program suggests the right to an Ombudsman for advocacy, but assistance has not been accessible. The situation involves a patient in North Carolina, whose nursing home has sent a signed request for revocation to the current DPA, who responded with a document the patient claims is not her signature.

The patient is in Genesis Senior Healthcare of Mooresville, NC, awaiting long-term placement, and the sister is seeking help at the patient's request as her representative.
