I would have to see the paperwork that you signed. By signing, you may have obligated yourself to pay, regardless of what you told them. If you are not the guardian (the woman needs one) then the guardian should have signed, not you. If the woman has a guardian already, then give the bills to the guardian.
However, if the woman has Medicare and Medicaid, why was she not admitted into a nursing home where this would not be an issue?
