Go to either one, Pdf pg.7 or the WND fax pg.7 it says the following in the paragraph labeled "Order" and signed by Judge Boyd.
"...The Court finds that the Ward, Ora Mae Magouirk, is suffering from dementia, an aortic aneurism and a blood clot...."

Section 5. Delirium and Dementia
this section includes
Chapter 38. Mental Status Examination | Chapter 39. Delirium | Chapter 40. Dementia | Chapter 41. Behavior Disorders in Dementia (snip)
"The most common symptom in early dementia is diminished short-term memory. Patients repeatedly ask the same questions, often after only a few minutes, or forget where belongings were placed. The inability to locate belongings may lead to paranoia that they were stolen.
Word-finding becomes difficult; patients may forget a specific word and use elaborate circumlocution to compensate (eg, a necktie may be called "that thing around the collar"). Formerly mastered activities of daily living (eg, driving, handling finances, housekeeping) may also become difficult. A change in the level of functioning is key to diagnosis.
Other symptoms of early dementia include personality changes, emotional lability, and poor judgment. Family members may report that the patient is "not acting like himself" or is doing uncharacteristic things (eg, a miserly widower gives thousands of dollars to a questionable charity). Mood swings, including depression and euphoria, commonly occur. Although early dementia usually does not affect sociability, patients may become increasingly irritable, hostile, and agitated, especially in circumstances in which they are confronted with their cognitive impairment."
Miss Mae had a housekeeper who drove her to the beauty parlour, she understood her limitations. Her diagnosis of 'dementia' is suspect IMO, Miss Mae's misfortune was her heart condition, which is now being treated.
I have read the WMD documents that were linked here previously.
You are correct as far as what is stated on Pg 7. This is the initial Order which states that based on "review" of the petitioner's (G-daughter)petition, the Court finds that the ward, Ora Mae Magouirk is suffering from dementia,...etc. This is what Beth "claimed"; it wasn't a proven fact at the time of being submitted to the judge on April 1st.
The FINAL ORDER is on Pg 1 of that same document. In the last paragraph of the FINDINGS OF FACT, please note that Dr.Jones "examined" Mae, filed an Evaluator's Report with the Court...."proposed ward was incapacitated by reason of mental disability..." He does not say all the things that Beth claimed. The Court's FINAL ORDER, based on the "medical" facts presented, not heresay, was signed on April 4th.
Based on the FINAL ORDER, I accept "mental disability" over presumed dementia as to cause of Mae's medical condition.
