[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you lose competency the facility will often go to court to make themselves your guardian/conservator/representative payee. If you have money, that is. If you don't, they still might do it to help you get Medicaid that will pay for their care...or if the facility doesn't take Medicaid, they'll try to get you a court-appointed guardian who will move you to a facility that does. Some guardians are great. Others are neglectful or abusive. [/quote] And some facilities/guardians will ignore your "living will" directives and will keep you hooked up/drugged up as long as possible so they can still cash in on any assets or Medicare/Medicaid benefits you may have. Money rules all. Even when death with dignity is desired. [/quote]
