An elderly adult may become a ward of the state if they are deemed incapacitated or unable to care for themselves, and there is no suitable family member or guardian available to provide care. This typically involves a legal process where a court grants the state guardianship or conservatorship over the individual's affairs to ensure their needs are met.

How can i look younger?

Figure out what you mean by young?Is youth the goal...........or health and feeling young?The outside of the body...looks, wrinkles etc. Sometimes say little about the internal health of the individual.First i would pray for good longevity genes.This may matter more than we know yet....and yet good genes do not constitute the whole picture.Even if ones good gene pool is geared towards living a long life...perhaps length isn't the ultimate goal...especially if someone is not in good health. What is length...or even youth if you or i are sick..and suffer from something? Chronic illness can really grate on anyone after a while.I think health and feeling great should be the goal.Some things you can control , while others are outside of our direction or knowledge.do what you can to stay young..by exercising 3-4 x's a week.Walking is fine.keep your attitude positive..try to think of the best outcomes not just the negative ones. Worry drains your resources to recouperate.Remember, guilt is based on the the past...something you can do nothing about, worry is based on the future which is unknown.Take vitamins.....educate yourself on any side effects or interactions.Smile ....alot.....sing.....even hum alittle...i believe music is a mirror to a happy soul.Keep in good stead with whom ever you want and care about.Don't be pressured to 'like' everyone. Hey..not eveyone likes you or me....even family can drive ya nuts.Eliminate the energy zappers. Like those in your life that focus on the negative all the time or put you down...or expect too much.Do research on creams, sunscreen etc.Get medical testing as suggested by your dr. Don't ignore symptoms because of fear....doing so can have a very negative outcome.....death. Better to know than not.Eat nutriously......reduce fat...blah blah blah...you know the things to do and don't do. The papers are filled with ideas.Listen to your own body. Only you can know what is best in the end.Well..there ya go..my two cents based on many nights of reading...being in the medical field....and now if you don't mind....i'm going to sign off....excuse myself..and go dunk my head in the sink....for really knowing alot of the answers to this question myself...and yet not doing all i can. Lolhope you are helped a tad.Peace out!!!

Adult ward of the state?

My daughter is in a position that could force her Dad to become a ward of the state. He is a severe alcoholic with medical and mental problems that accompany alcoholism. He is becoming a danger to himself and others. He is currently hospitalized in a behavorial unit. She has been told that he must have a permanent caregiver or he will be a ward of the state. She is married with 2 young boys and is a flight attendant. She also lives 50 miles away from him but does have a medical POA. He is verbally abusive to her so given all this it is impossible for her to be his caregiver, He owns a lot of land and has oil/gas royalty checks come in every m8nth. He is just not able to care for himself. No one in their right state of mind will care for him. This to me is an example of an adult being a ward of the state.
