]]> As defined by the courts, a guardian is someone appointed to make decisions about health care, living arrangements and other personal issues for a protected person.

A conservator is appointed to make financial decisions such as entering into contracts, paying bills and investing assets for a protected person.

How much power do they have over an individual’s life?
Their powers are broad, but not absolute. According to the Minnesota attorney general’s office, they may use their authority only as necessary to provide care and services for the protected person. The court should ensure that decisions are not overly restrictive of the protected person’s rights.

The Legislature recently passed a Bill of Rights for Wards and Protected Persons (statute 524.5-120). Find it here:

]]> Pinnacle Services is proud to announce that they have partnered with the web’s #1 resource for Home Care Services and Senior Services Gilbert Guide to help enhance the exposure of Pinnacle’s Home Care Services.

Right from the beginning, we were very impressed with just the shear amount of information and resources this site had. When searching for “home care services” or “senior services” on the site we were very happy to see that any potential client can find a wide variety of expert columns on common issues people experience when dealing with aging parents. We believe it is really comforting to see that GilbertGuide offers this type of service because it allows everyone to get educated on real life issues that touch almost every household. In addition to these expert columns, people can also find advice for finance/legal, housing, Alzheimer’s and health.

GilbertGuide is a great partner for Pinnacle Services due to the fact that people can get educated on the site regarding these incredibly important issues and then find the right provider for their needs within the Gilbert Guide database. Pinnacle Services is currently listed under Home Care for our Senior In Home Care.  Pinnacle’s highly trained team offers a wide variety of Senior Home Care options.

We are proud to partner with such a great site! And we hope that you get as much out of the resources available for home care services and senior services that we did!
