The last Memory Care Unit my husband's brother was in, The Administrator had my husband to sign the Admissions paperwork. However, the Administrator of that facility "dumped him at the hospital" and refused to accept his back.
The thing is, Whenever the Administrator "dumped" him, she refused to give my husband any paperwork, claiming he was not the guardian. My husband and I recently were able to get our hands on the "discharge notice". She covered up what she was doing by putting on the discharge notice that she was discharging BIL to another Memory Care Unit when in fact that is not what she did.
I feel like they are trying to keep things covered up by having my husband sign all the paperwork although he is not the guardian. Thank you responding. At least
The fact that you are a Guardian does not necessarily mean you are financially responsible personally for the cost.
I was Guardian for my Husband and any costs that I incurred came out of his account and I was paid back. (I kept receipts and at the end of the month I would total them up and write a check from his account to mine, this was all reviewed and had to be approved by the court about every 6 or 12 months) When the house we lived in was sold the money went into HIS account (my name was not on the deed)
In this case I would sign and indicate "As Guardian for....." But any expense has to be approved by the court so I would suggest that this be brought up and prior approval be given.
My husband and I feel the same way about signing the admissions papers for my BIL. We are not his guardian or his POA, however, my husband is always asked to sign these papers which is so strange to us.
These facilities will let us be a part of everything until things go down. Then they deny us all access to his info.
That's my question. Why are these Administrators having my husband to sign the paperwork when they are aware he is not the Guardian or POA?
Now you know to tell them to speak with the guardian.
Just because they are appointed "guardian" don't mean a thing. The reason I say this is, my BIL had a guardian before that did not make any type of decisions for him at all. Their name was just signed on some type of paperwork as "guardian."
I still think that your husband should not sign anything without reading it to be sure that he is not accepting financial responsibility. I personally would not sign anything, I would tell them to speak to the guardian to get their signature on all required paperwork.
