The POA Caregiver Program

For the person serving under a Power of Attorney.

What the program is

The POA Caregiver™ Program is plain-language education for the person who has been named as an agent under a Power of Attorney — and who is often also providing or coordinating care for the same person. It teaches both responsibilities and how they intersect, organized around The 5 Phases of the POA Journey™: PREPARE, ESTABLISH, ORGANIZE, ACT, TRANSITION. The program is national foundational education; it pairs with a state edition (the Minnesota POA Handbook is State Edition #1) for state-specific guidance.

Who it is for

Anyone preparing to become, named as, or currently serving as an agent under a Power of Attorney for an aging or incapacitated adult, and family members helping that person. No prior training is required.

What is included

Eleven modules, 72 lessons: Introduction to POA Caregiving · Authority, Roles & Responsibilities · Healthcare Advocacy · Financial Management & Recordkeeping · Document Organization · Government Benefits · Family Dynamics · Care Transitions · Protecting Yourself · Sustaining the System · After-Death Responsibilities. Delivered online and self-paced.

A final exam (50 questions, 80% to pass, unlimited retakes) and the Ethics Agreement.

What the program is not

The POA Caregiver Program is education only. It does not interpret your Power of Attorney document, does not provide legal, medical, tax, or financial advice, and does not replace a licensed attorney, physician, or financial professional. When your document or your state's law needs interpretation, the program helps you recognize that and prepare the right questions for a qualified professional in your state.
