In a recent (May 2011) case on Guardians a daughter and Catholic Family Services were appointed guardians for the 93 year old mother who is in a nursing home with advanced Alzheimer's disease. The principles of her Roman Catholic religious beliefs will apply to end of life decisions for her.

This is a great case to see how important it is to select a Guardian for yourself and your minor children so when the time comes the right person is making the right decisions for your or your children's care and well being.
