Professional Guardian

in I Am a Caregiver (General Topics)

Has anyone had any experience using a professional guardian in Colorado? I am working on getting a petition for guardianship filed but do not want to be the guardian myself. While I reside in the same state, my relationship with my father has been very bad for many years and I am frequently out of the country. There is no other family to do it and I think he will work better with an impartial third party in regard to making care decisions going forward.

    I have a friend who works for an attorney who acts as guardian for clients in similar circumstances.

    I would prefer this option over a state-appointed professional guardian. Another option is to accept guardianship and hire a professional Eldercare Manager to be your eyes and ears.
