GUARDIANSHIP
Guiding Adults Who Need It
Keeping Vulnerable Adults Secure, Safe, and Independent
The 18th birthday is an important milestone, one that may mark the first time an individual is legally allowed to make their own decisions. However, sometimes adults need guidance when making important medical or financial decisions. ADEC’s guardianship program is a resource for situations such as this. This program currently serves more than 60 adults and for more than 30 years, has helped with personal decisions, advocating, and protection.
