“CEI’s program is specially designed to offer an alternative to those elders who prefer to remain in their own home, but whose medical problems make it impossible for them to live at home without assistance from doctors, nurses, social workers, and other caregivers. Your care is planned and provided by a interdisciplinary team of specialists working together with you. When necessary, services may also be provided in your home, in a board and care or other group housing, in a specialist’s office or in a nursing home. Our primary care physician will manage your hospital care.”

This is a link to the Handbook for Conservators, a 302 page book (in its printed version) that describes in detail the responsibilities and duties of a Conservator. It is hosted on the California Superior Court’s web site. This tome will give you a good idea of the complexity of the task a Conservator is undertaking when embarking on a Conservatorship.
