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.

His comedy has brought so much laughter.
Too bad. He was a true funnyman.
Poor fellow.
I always liked him.
I saw him live about 20 years ago. I laughed so hard at his "dentist" routine, that is was difficult to catch my breath.
I miss him. He brought me and Harvey Corman to tears.
I hate it when a legend’s last years are marred by a family squabble. There is usually at least one ‘Control Freak’ most often the spouse or partner.
This happened to Casey Kasem, Glen Campbell and Muhummad Ali.
Loved his skits with Mrs. Hoo—Wiggins...
Thanks for the laughs, sir.
A great comedian. One of my favorites: The Dentist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfTyEtVIe84
I don’t think it’s a good thing that we are read in on every tragedy, every unhappy event that occurs.
I would have been well-served by, “Tim Conway dead at 85,” without hearing all the gory details.
Now it’s in my head that he is suffering on his way to the grave. I didn’t need to know that.
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.
One of the best comedians ever in my book. A true classic
I ADORE Tim Conway! And I smell a RAT. Don’t know if the daughter or the wife is the rat, but this kind of thing is usually about control of MONEY.
Thought Dorf died years ago.
I’m actually shocked...
A funny man’s funny man.
Conway ping
Sad, I’ll put Timmy on to see if mentions this.
Ping.
