Wards Right To Refuse

In Kentucky, a person suffering from bipolar disorder could be placed under guardianship if they can't manage their finances. However, a ward maintains certain rights, such as:
- The right to be treated with dignity
- The right to basic needs, including food and drink
For refusal of food and drink, specific laws may apply. Can you clarify if this is voluntary or due to a mental health crisis?

In Kentucky, a ward has the right to refuse food and drink voluntarily. However, if this puts their health at risk, the guardian may need to seek medical intervention. Always consult with a healthcare provider in such situations.

This is a complex issue. In Kentucky, if a ward voluntarily refuses food and drink to the point of endangering their life, the guardian may be required to seek medical intervention or court guidance. However, specifics can vary, so please consult a local attorney.
