In 1990 Friends for Life was asked to serve as legal guardian for a man who had been found unconscious. He was unable to make medical decisions and he had no family who could intervene on his behalf. Friends for Life now offers guardianship service in 39 Texas counties (see map or list) and serves as guardian when the judge determines a person lacks capacity and there is no family member qualified and willing to serve.
As a social worker with a community agency I often come into contact with inidividuals who have no family – no significant others. As they progress in age and helath problems become significant many of them will need someone to make decisions in there behalf, particularly in the areas of money management, housing and medical care. Is this something your program could become involved in? How is a referral made to your organization?
