Revisiting: When You Don't Want Their Help
At Not Born Yesterday we keep listeners informed on the issues confronting us as we age. This episode from our archives is being offered again as family visits during the holidays and the issue of who should be in charge when help is needed is so important.
The state run guardianship/conservatorship program is largely unregulated and too often attractive to predators. Currently there are more than two million Americans, mostly seniors, who are under court control with unwanted and unnecessary restrictions that violate constitutionally protected rights .
Our guest, journalist Diane Dimond, has written "We're Here To Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong" and dissects this industry which profits off the confinement of others.
