Guardianship in Las Vegas

Watched a documentary on Amazon Prime last night, something about senior retirees living in Las Vegas. It was an expose` of 'Guardianship' & the horrors associated with it. I don't know if it was true but if it was I'm glad I decided to winter in SW AZ rather than Las Vegas. Does anyone have any knowledge of it?
 

I can't figure out why guardianship "woes" would be worse in Las Vegas than anywhere else. Could it be that there are a lot of elderly folks with gambling addictions that have put themselves in such financial trouble that their children have to take control of their finances to make sure they have enough funds left to live on?

I had a friend who was trying to discourage her elderly father from moving to Vegas. She said that him moving to Vegas with his extreme love for gambling would be like an alcoholic moving into the back room of a bar. Instead of his weekly two-hour trip to an Indian casino, she feared that he'd be gambling 18 hours a day until he had nothing left to keep him going.

I had the same ideas you had when I first seen the selection. But if it's at all true you should be as shocked as I was. It makes one wonder to what extremes we humans do to take advantage of our fellow man. All I can say is watch it if you can. But like everything else take it with the idea that this is possibly an unreliable make believe production.
