How Can You Help?
If you have the time and the desire to
protect and advocate for someone who
cannot speak for him or herself,
consider volunteering. You can make a
difference in the life of a person who
may be lonely and vulnerable and who may
have no visitors or others involved in
his or her life.
Who Can Volunteer?
Caring, committed adults who are at
least 21 years old, have good
communication skills, and reliable
transportation. You must live or work in
Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Fairfield
or Pickaway Counties.
What Will You Do?
Become "guardian of the person" for
individuals whose mental impairment so
incapacitates them that they are unable
to care for themselves or make sound
personal decisions.
Where Are You Needed?
A special emphasis is being placed on
serving residents of nursing homes in
Delaware, Fayette, Franklin, Fairfield
and Pickaway Counties.
You will have: - Support, training and technical
assistance from the staff of the
Volunteer Guardian Program.
- A volunteer attorney will be assigned
to give you legal advice concerning the
management of the guardianship.
- Formal Statutory authority granted by
the Probate Court.
- The satisfaction of enhancing the
quality of life for another human being. For more Volunteer Guardian information
call 1-800-589-7277.
