Do I need to become guardian for my parent?

The second way to get decision making authority is by having your parent directly give it to you with a durable power of attorney or health care proxy. A power of attorney is a document that allows a client to appoint an individual to act as the client's agent ("attorney-in-fact") on financial matters should the client ever become incapacitated. A health care proxy gives another person(the agent) the authority to make health care decisions should the principal become incapacitated.These documents are also called “advanced directives”. They are great way to make sure that you have the legal authority to make decisions for your family in the event they become incapacitated.
