[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All — I posted before but wanted to connect with anyone with experiences with petitioning for cinservatorship but getting a social worker or social services agency to serve as guardian for medical decisions.  My mother is mentally ill but never treated.  Refuses treatment of all kinds.  Also refuses to bathe, etc.  she is also very verbally and emotionally abusive.  I was heading down a path to being her guardian and now an]m backing away as I realize could really wreck my mental health to deal with more of it and she will fight the petitions I am sure,  well respected psychiatrist will support the petition.  If you have experience with a third party being ok as a guardian could you please respond.[/quote]

You can have the court appoint a guardian but that means that you get no opinion or decision making power so they can do what they want with her and too bad.  They can put her at a bad nursing home and you cannot move her. They can waste the little money she has and too bad.  Really bad idea.

Even if you get guardianship, you cannot force bathing and mental health treatment.

We had guardianship.  My loved one was in a nursing home and if she refused to eat, bath, or cooperate there was nothing the nursing home or we could do about it.

I don't think you understand how this works.[/quote]
