The court did not say that and did find that Mae was suffering from dementia and the other problems. Gaddy provided enough documentation to satisfy the court. The subsequent findings by Dr. Jones corroborate the finding.
From page 7 of the 32 page court document
"...The Court finds that the Ward, Ora Mae Magouirk, is suffering from dementia, an aortic aneurism and a blood clot...."
Based, at that time, on only testimony from Gaddy. In fact, the entire April 1 order is based on Gaddy's sworn testimony.
The court did not reference the presence of any medical testimony that included a conclusion of dementia.
The order also says "That a clear and substantial risk of death, and or, serious physical injury can occur to the proposed ward unless she remains in Hospice at West Georgia Health Systems until a permanent guardian can be appointed." In hindsight, that assertion is false. She was moved out and is being treated in Alabama.
The quote from the FINAL ORDER on Pg7 you referenced, states: "....incapacitated by reason of mental disability...". It doesn't say dementia. Mental disability can be contributed to her prior condition following her heart problems, medications, and going 9 days without nutrition/hydration. All of those things could vastly improve with proper follow-up care. There were no actual documents included with the orders; just stated that they were received. Just an opinion...based on what has actually been reviewed.
