VOLUNTEER GUARDIAN PROGRAM | CENTRAL OHIO AREA AGENCY ON AGING
Program matches volunteers with nursing home residents who have cognitive deficits and/or mental disabilities and need a court-appointed guardian of the person. The program recruits, trains, and supports the volunteers. Volunteers assist their person with personal, medical and living arrangement decisions. Volunteers become court-appointed "guardian of the person" only. They are not appointed as "guardian of the estate" and so do not handle finances.
