A conservator appointed pursuant to this Chapter shall have the right, if specified in the court order, to place his conservatee in a medical psychiatric, nursing, or other facility, or a hospital, a United States government hospital, or other non-medical facility approved by the Department. If the conservatee is not to be placed in his own home or the home of a relative, first priority shall be to placement in a suitable facility as close as possible to his home or the home of a relative. Before doing so, the conservator shall inform the officer providing conservatorship investigation and shall, if requested by the officer, submit his conservatee to an evaluation pursuant to this Title to determine whether such action is necessary.
