You have no control over the money, medical care or overall care.  We are in a situation with a nursing home and they are not respecting our choices nor providing adequate care.  They are upset that we are stepping in to get needs met.  They even went so far as taking all the social security money and their reason was... well, we can... needless to say, we're headed to guardianship and working with social security to address it.  If they had guardianship, we'd have no say what so ever.  Nursing homes want easy.

Its a  Make demands... forget it.  If there is no family or friends to do it, then yes, the state takes over but its not a good option.  If you are not willing, just be prepared to have no say in the care your family member is receiving.[/quote]
