[quote=Anonymous]For medication, you could have a nurse come into the home to administer it or a less restrictive environment with supports. Most of these places are pretty miserable and depressing. They have minimal activities, food is gross and quality of care is minimal (having dealt with it for years with a relative). In terms of guardianship, we have it for our loved one. There is a very high threshold. You have to file in court with two doctors agreeing. The person is given an attorney who makes an independent assessment of the individual as well. If all agree, its a smooth and easy process but you have to prove without a doubt this person cannot care for themselves. I doubt brother has it. You can check someone into a nursing home as most will agree as its about money. We did it. My husband had POA but that is a worthless piece of paper. OP, you need to look at alternatives.[/quote]
