Buncombe County's Adult Guardianship Program
works to provide the best possible quality of
life for those who have a public guardian appointed
by law. Our clients include folks who may suffer
from one or more onset illnesses associated with
advanced age or adults who have suffered debilitating
injuries. Guardians serve as surrogate decision
makers acting on behalf of the best interests
of their client. These decisions typically include
the client's needs and living conditions. Guardians
are available around the clock for emergencies
and are prepared to advocate proper care and services.
Guardians, however, cannot force a client to receive
medical treatment, prevent self-destructive behaviors
or stop a person from leaving an unlocked facility.
Please call with any questions and concerns regarding
the Guardian Program and its services.
