    Description

    Adults with limited decisional capacity in one or more areas of their life as determined by the court benefit from the Hamilton County VASIA Guardianship Program and Shepherd’s Center of Hamilton County. Guardianship is a dramatic intervention; it is a legal appointment by the court after careful consideration and evaluation to determine that less restrictive options for assistance would not be enough.

    Volunteer Advocates are paired with an adult under guardianship to help monitor their care plan and ensure the highest degree of independence, dignity, health, comfort, and safety is maintained. Advocates work closely with SCHC care team and Hamilton County Court to monitor client’s well-being. The advocate helps them make decisions based on their own best interests and preferences.

    Volunteer Advocates will complete an interview, background check and have extensive training as well as continued support and ongoing training.
