Guardianship REferral
The focus of a guardianship is always for the best interest of the person needing care. Although this often means providing advice and counsel to a family member seeking guardianship of a parent. A Guardianship can also involve friends or relatives who suffer from a mental illness or disability. The purpose of a guardianship is to protect an incapacitated person from abuse, neglect or exploitation. Also, a guardianship may be necessary to keep a loved one safe or find appropriate placement in available housing.  The guardianship referral form available by the above link is filed with the county court to initiate the need for a guardian for an individual found in the county.
