I’m going though it now.

Don’t want guardianship, but POA is the happy medium.

You make financial decisions.
You can freeze their credit. My father is now getting calls where they ask him for ssn and he keeps giving it to them. Credit freeze can help with fraud.

A POA can be revoked. If your parent has dementia then a conservatorship or guardianship is the way to go. Do it while they are still mostly there so their wishes get more consideration.
