You an Advance Directive For Health Care and a Power of Attorney. (As an aside they should also have Wills) You should seek Counsel from an experienced estate planning/elder care attorney. Buying forms on line or from a form store normally leads to extreme complications. Remember five dollar shoes hurt your feet
