Jackson County Guardian
Services program provides guardian and conservator services to enrich the
lives of incapacitated adults who are unable to protect their own
interests and who are vulnerable to exploitation, neglect or injury. These
individuals have had a guardian and/or conservator appointed by the Court
to undertake the legal responsibility of making major life decisions and
advocating for them by making care, custody, medical treatment, and
financial decisions. The Guardian/Conservator helps develop a
community-based service plan for achieving and/or maintaining optimum
social, psychological and physical functioning. This is achieved
through providing assessments, service planning and coordination, making
arrangements for the provision of services, and monitoring the progress of
persons served and the services they are receiving.
