    Description

    Volunteer Public Guardians make a profound difference to benefit the life of highly vulnerable adults. When a person cannot legally make safe choices for themselves and have no others to help them in making decisions, a Volunteer Deputy Guardian steps in to help.

    Deputy Guardians receive education, training, and ongoing mentoring from the OPG program, learning to:

    • Develop a rapport and a working relationship with the clients when visiting at least once per month.
    • Learn and evaluate the person’s needs, issues, and desires.
    • Participate in planning, giving consent for medical treatment and other services.
    • Monitor and advocate for the rights and dignity of the client.
    • Work with care staff, service providers and medical providers to ensure appropriate care and services.
    • Monitor client’s care, staffing and home/facility conditions.
    • Promote understanding and trust between client, staff and the Oregon Public Guardian and Conservator.
    • Maintain confidentiality as required by law.
    • Report cases of suspected abuse to Adult Protective Services as required by Program policy.
    • Submit required monthly reports as per OPG program policy.
    • Attend required trainings and meetings.
    • Sign a 2-year commitment to serve the Program
