[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] People, elder law practitioner here. This is what guardianships are for. The local court appoints a guardian who manages the ward and gets paid from the ward's assets. If the money runs out, government assistance.

Literally not a single PP thought that there should be government programs in place for such persons.

I'm from a part of Europe where every hospital has a social service on the lookout for people in need, not to mention the municipal government services.[/quote]

In the US, guardianship laws in many states enable financial abuse of elders, and the lawyers are in on it.

And while hospitals in the US have staff to see if elderly patients have a safe home to return to, some patients lie/speak from optimism rather than facts, and staff doesn't necessarily have time to follow up on all their claims about how well they manage on their own and how much help they get or can get.

Well, that's just great to hear . . . [/quote]
