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
