Erie Family Center
Guardianship Program
The need for Guardianship for a senior citizen arises once it is determined that a senior is now unable to care for themselves and/or their property.
Often, an incident occurs that moves a family member, health care professional, social worker, or some other concerned person to initiate guardianship proceedings. There may be a concern that an individual is: being financially exploited (or is about to be exploited), unable to care for themselves, cannot perform the activities of daily life without assistance.
