The Adult Guardianship and Advocacy Program (AGAP) operated by Family Services Inc. will cease operations on May 22.
The Family Services Inc. Board voted to discontinue the program at its May 6 meeting after spending almost a year seeking a solution to funding challenges.
The program, which trained volunteers to represent the health and legal interests of at-risk and incapacitated adults, cost almost $61,000 to run last year. Funding for the program came from United Way of Greater Lafayette, The Community Foundation of Greater Lafayette, St Elizabeth Regional Health, Alcoa Foundation and other public and private sources.

ReplyDeleteVolunteers should be visitors, not guardians.
Exactly right, Anonymous. Volunteers can visit - family should be guardians.
