Tim Conway is battling dementia.
The 84-year-old Carol Burnett Show star’s daughter Kelly is asking to be appointed conservator of her father and be in charge of his medical treatments, according to court documents obtained by PEOPLE and first reported by The Blast.
Kelly, 56, filed the documents in Los Angeles on Friday, claiming Conway’s wife Charlene is “planning to move him out of the excellent skilled nursing facility he is currently at” and place him in one that won’t give him access to “registered nurses at all times and his 24-hour caregiver and speech therapist (to help with swallowing).”
Kelly also states that Conway cannot “properly provide for his personal needs for physical health, food, and clothing” and is “almost entirely unresponsive.”
She hopes to be granted guardianship so she can also administer her father’s medications herself.

“Gee, I love that kind of talk!”
Sad.
Hilarious!!
Funniest man ever.
Siamese twin elephants joined at the end of the trunk.
Whenever I need a laugh, that and George Goble on Johnny Carson talking about his WW2 service.
><
With Dean Martin dropping his cigarette ashes in Goble’s drink. LOL
“The Japs never got past Tulsa”.
One of the funniest ever.
He is truly a funny man. He will be missed
Always loved Tim Conway’s comedy. Him and Don Knotts made a great comedy duo.
A pair of brown shoes.
I was thinking this a couple years ago. I could tell by listening to Tim Jr, by what he wasn’t saying, and in the pic of him and his dad by the pool that faraway look in Dad’s eye was all too familiar to me. I believe Tim won’t mention it tonight and maybe never, maybe a promise he made to his dad when his dad was lucid. He has made obvious untrue excuses for why his dad wasn’t at the reunion of the Carol Burnett show.
Both my parents had / have it and it’s so hard, so very hard, for the families. There is often one person who is in total denial. Maybe it is the wife. I hope the kids are all one re his care.
I love Tim Jr and my heart goes out to him.
Unresponsive means the end is near, which is so very frustrating to the children because you don’t know what the hell to pray for. It’s horrible to see your dad live like that. My dad was only like that for 2 months.
Gd bless the Conway family.
What does his son Tim jr think?
The funniest man ever with Foster Brooks a very close second.
How horrible.
A human being doesn’t have the capacity to grieve for each human on Earth individually. It has to blow a fuse sooner or later.

You just nailed the problem with 24 hour news and social media. Sensory overload. You’re right. Humans are not designed to be assaulted with bad news 24 hours a day with the meter set constantly to 11, but that is what the MSM has been pushing in a desperate attempt at attracting viewers.
The result has been the opposite. People are switching them off in increasing numbers, and that’s a good thing, not just for their sanity but to avoid the barrage of daily B.S. about every day being an unprecedented disaster. It’s not.
The best thing that could happen would be for the so-called 24 news shows to burn themselves out of existence. It does seem they are well on the way.
One of Tim’s best!
