How do you gain guardianship of a parent who is unwilling?

My mother has had a stroke. She receives a stipend from the military but is often broke within the first week of pay. She is not willing to keep up with personal hygiene and has verbalized suicide multiple times. I'm truly concerned for her well being but don't know what i can do to help.

You petition the court for Guardianship, that is the only way it gets done. In our case, the Judge appointed us at the very first hearing. The cost was $2500 and it was paid from her funds. Now go see a lawyer.
