It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.

I would have loved to have have served on a jury back in my youth, but now in my 70's, forgetabout it. My brain is fried after dealing with elderly parents for 7 years :P Heck I fall asleep in front of my computer at times.
When my Dad got such a summons, I wrote back..explained that he is unable to remain awake for periods longer than about 30 minutes. Is incontinent and will need extra depends and time to bathroom breaks every hour,
I got a simple notice that being 93 was reason enough.
Thanks,
VRS
Usually, if the perspective juror is claiming caretaking, even of a younger disabled child that may go on for years and years, the jury selection process does not assume that the need to be the caregiver is a permanent one, for example if the patient passes away or is subsequently located in a facility where 24 hour care is provided. So, the request for an excusal as a caregiver is mostly always consider temporary and you go back in the pool for selection again the next time. Sometimes they won't even accept an older letter from a doctor again because the patient may have died or may have different living arrangements. They pretty much want your request for an excusal to be in the present.
WindRose, glad the doctor is very accomodating. When you go to court, ask them if this is a one-time deal and your name is expunged? Or your name goes back in and then when pulled in the future, you have to again bring the doctor's letter?
Thanks to all for this and for all you do for those who would appreciate it if they could!
and, written in on their forms.
I cannot think of anyone who was required to get a Dr. excuse--but that could happen...they are so desperate, in many areas, for jurors who have more than a few brain cells in a row.
Seriously.
Sometimes they come across as very heavy-handed & a bit threatening, trying to get people to just come in to see if they can be picked for jury duty....
There are LOTS of conditions people can be validly excused, permanently fro jury duty:
--If a person has health conditions they can't accommodate;
--If the person must caretake someone and has no one to cover for them;
--If it is a financial hardship;
--If someone lacks transportation;
etc.
