The Public Guardian and Trustee sought appointment as permanent guardian of the person of an incapable adult under the Substitute Decisions Act, 1992.
The incapable person’s daughter opposed the application and sought appointment as guardian with a plan to provide home care.
The court reviewed extensive evidence from the Community Care Access Centre regarding the incapable person’s complex medical needs and the feasibility of home‑based care.
The proposed guardianship plan was found inadequate and unsustainable, particularly given the need for continuous medical monitoring and professional care.
As no suitable alternative guardian was available, the court appointed the Public Guardian and Trustee as permanent guardian of the person.
