Brian Wilson is getting all the care and help he needs amid his dementia battle.
The Beach Boys co-founder's diagnosis was revealed in a petition filed in Los Angeles Superior Court by his publicist Jean Sievers and business manager LeeAnn Hard. He reportedly learned he had a "major neurocognitive disorder" weeks after his wife, Melinda, died on January 30.
In the new court documents obtained by In Touch, his team confirmed that Brian, 82, has been under 24/7 watch by his medical team in his $9 million Beverly Hills home, where he has lived since 1999.
It also divulged how a nurse assists the musician every hour of every day. A team also prepares his meals and his medications.
The care has been imposed after a judge signed off on the petition to place Brian under a conservatorship amid his health battle.
"[Brian] has 3 full time caregivers living at his house. The caregivers have been working for [Brian] for many years, well before the commencement of these conservatorship proceedings," the conservators revealed in the filing. "Conservators have also hired 3 nurses to assist Brian at his house. The 3 nurses have rotating schedules such that there is always a nurse at the house to care for [Brian]."
"With these measures in place, there is no plan or need for [Brian], to live anywhere other than his personal residence," the document continued.
Due to his condition, Brian reportedly started having a hard time understanding questions and only giving short responses to questions and comments.

Melinda, who Brian called his "savior" in a statement after her death, cared for the musician until her death.
"We will miss her but cherish everything she has taught us. How to take care of the person next to you with out expecting anything in return, how to find beauty in the darkest of places, and how to live life as your truest self with honesty and pride," a statement from the family read. "We love you mom. Give Grandma Rose and Pa our love."
Weeks after the loss, Brian reportedly became "easily distracted, often even when aware of surroundings and its purpose" and "frequently unable to maintain decorum appropriate to the situation."
As Brian no longer has anyone to become his primary carer, Hard and Sievers stepped forward to ensure he gets everything he needs. The conservators do not oversee his estate.
