If you are a parent's guardian and they are in a long term facility and the facility claims the parent was abusive to staff or other residents (which gives them the right to discharge) are you obligated to pick up the parent based on being legal guardian?
I think it is overall a problem in that people so often take on guardianship for an uncooperative and unpleasant elder, not knowing that they are on the hook for everything now, from placement to bills to record keeping. What a terrible task to take on. If you cannot handle it do consider going to an attorney, attempting to have guardianship given up and place the elder in the hands of the state who will appoint a fiduciary guardian. You can plead ill health, incompetency for the task, or any and all excuses you can think of. I sure would!
It also does not always mean that you handle financials. Who is the POA or appointed conservator? You most likely had to get a lawyer to become guardian.
