Expedite Emergency Guardianship Hearing and Admission into a Care Management Facility for Joseph Robert Schilling

The Issue

Joseph Robert Schilling is in dire need of help. As an individual who struggles daily with issues such as incontinence, he is in urgent need of placement in a Care Management facility for lifetime care. This placement would ensure his proper and appropriate care, giving him the dignity and comfort he deserves.

As per 2019 data from the National Institute on Aging, it is recognized that almost 14 million adults in the United States need help with daily activities due to physical or cognitive impairments, emphasizing the importance of long-term care facilities in addressing these needs. Efforts such as ours are pivotal to help individuals live with dignity despite such challenges.

However, the process to obtain a court order for his admission has been painfully slow. An emergency guardianship hearing could expedite this process and bring an immediate solution to his situation.

In the face of such difficulties, we are not just seeking speedier legal procedures, but essentially the upholding of a human right. The World Health Organization asserts that "access to healthcare services is a fundamental health right", a right which is currently being undermined for Joseph.

We humbly ask for your support to expedite the emergency guardianship hearing and the court order admission for Joseph Robert Schilling's placement in a Care Management facility. Every signature brings us one step closer to rectifying this situation and ensuring quality lifelong care for Joseph. Please sign this petition.
