Ms. Barron was com fortable with Ms. Chapman making admission decisions on her behalf without herself knowing or being specifically advised about the dispute resolution issue. As the Admission Agreement and the admission process included a decision on the Resolution of Legal Disputes form, we view Ms. Chapman’s authority as encompassing that decision. {29} Courts from other jurisdictions to which Plaintiff directs our attention have taken a more restrictive view. For example, some of the cases cited by Plaintiff stand for the proposition that authority under a healthcare power of attorney without further indication of authority is insufficient to allow the agent to bind the principal to arbitration. See Life Care Ctrs. of Am. v. Smith, 298 Ga.App. 739, 681 S.E.2d 182, 183-85 (2009) (<HOLDING>); McNally v. Beverly Enters., Inc., 191 P.3d
