Description

Volunteer Guardians are substitute decision-makers for people who have mental disabilities and are unable to make informed personal decisions in their own best interest. Guardians do many things to ensure the quality of life for the people they serve. They make informed, major life decisions concerning medical care, therapies, living environments, and even funeral arrangements. But, guardians also do the "little things" – and the little things mean a lot.
