I was just made Guardian for my mother that has Alzheimer's. Now I can finally take care of her. When the papers were drawn at the attorney's office (Mom went willingly) He reminded me there is lots of loopholes. I know I have a lot to learn, and thought this might be a good place to start. I know there are others going through it right now, any pointers?
On the personal guardian side (that's my sister), my sister attends all doctor appointments. She keeps in close contact with the ALC makes sure mother has all personal items that she needs or wants and pops in to visit at any hour to make sure all things are going well at the Living Center.
I opened a checking account in my sister's name into which money is deposited for her to use for any funding needs.
Once we got ourselves into a routine, the guardianship isn't nearly as difficult as it sounds. You will do fine. If you have a question, ask somebody, don't just assume.
