Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
A court appointed guardian who took over my dad’s cate because I became sick with a brain tumor and iih. She made a decision on her own to refuse to pay my dad’s bills. Neglecting his care and now she is quitting because she says his case is too complicated. but she hasn't paid his bill at his assisted living facility in a memory care unit. What do I do. My poor dad.
Talk with the facility director about notifying the court. Someone I know was sanctioned by the court for failing to fulfill their conservator and guardian duties. The court should be aware so they can bring the situation into compliance, especially before your dad's money is lost if she has been mismanaging it. How that should be done depends on the state law and local court system.
You do nothing. You are not the guardian at this point. You say she "is quitting" but you do NOT say that she "HAS quit". When she quits, that will not be resigning through or to you; she will be resigning before the court. The court will appoint another guardian.
She has made a decision not to pay some or all bills. You will not be privy to any information as regards that and she is not obligated to explain it. She may have reasons. If your father doesn't have money, then there is no money for bills, and what money there is must go to care. At the end, when your father is gone, those who put a lien on his estate can collect what is left of his estate.
You say that the guardian has (apparently) told you that this estate is too difficult to manage. If this is a difficult estate it is the last thing YOU need on your plate. Allow the courts to handle this. I am wishing you the best and a full return to health.
You do nothing. It is the job of the conservator to get your dad's bills paid. She was court-appointed so she's got a lot of explaining to do and will have to produce the money that isn't going for his bills. I'd bet anything she continues to collect her fee every month.
The assisted living facility director can speak to the court that appointed the conservator. You should too. The facility director should also submit the complaints to the court in writing and will likely do this. The facility will get their money. Don't forget, care facilities have lawyers of their own that are like wild dogs. They will recover every cent this conservator had not lawfully administered on your father's behalf and then some. You don't have to do anything except sit back and watch those legal dogs tear up that carcass in court.
I think you will have to return to the court to solve this, sounds like you have grounds to petition for guardianship if you are now able and want that. Or at the very least an new person needs to be designated.
