The Dr. has diagnosed her dad with Alzhiemer's....but as I've learned from experience with my mother's situation, that's as far as a Dr. is will to go in Washington..when we took mom back to her Dr. to have her tell mom that she would need help with her condition the Dr. changed her evaluation from a level 4 to a level 2 rather than tell mom she needed help...which made mom think she was getting better.....that's why I'm asking about Arizona.....do the Dr.s in Arizona have more "power" in helping place an elder, rather than having to go thru the courts and have him declared incompetent?
