The person who is being admitted?
Just because they are being admitted to rehab does not mean that they are incompetent to sign papers. And if they are indeed incompetent, then they can't sign and you cannot get a power of attorney. In such case, the only remedy is to pursue a guardianship of the person and their finances (also called a conservatorship for finances).
