Dementia patient gets MAID after family ‘brought forward’ the request

There were communication challenges during the eligibility assessment. The provider said the process was “managed in a way that worked for her.” There was little documented details of her cognitive impairments like short-term memory loss, insight or judgement. Mrs. 6F tried to sign the consent form, but her signature was illegible. “A third-party signer, a member of the MAID provider’s clinical staff, was engaged,” according to the report.
