The medical people make the decision.

Not entirely correct, according to a thread here yesterday. They have to provide 10 days notice to the guardian and the case has to go before an ethics review board before any action is taken. The guardian basically has 10 days to find another facility that will take the patient.

Here in WV they gave us 72 hours to try to find another
hospital once the meeting (which they never actually
called an Ethics Committee meeting) decided to stop all
care for our mother. I assumed this is the same in every
state?
