We welcome guests to our show ideally in person at the
studio. If folks want to join us, they can do so either to be on-air or
to be our live in-studio audience. If folks don’t find it convenient or
of interest to be with us at the station, they can call in to join the
conversation with their remarks. If being live on-air is not of interest
or conducive to your schedule, you can request to do a recording with
us or provide one.
This show dives into the importance and sadness of the reality of Guardianship Abuse. Older adults and people with disabilities are at greater risk. Special guests and National Association to Stop Guardianship Abuse (NASGA) advocates, Coz Skaife and Kathy Intravaia share their experiences and expertise along with some practical resources and advice. Know your State Laws. Know your Civil Rights AND your Rights in the event you become a Ward. Learn what you can do to help avoid guardianship. Complete your Advance Directives, especially your Power of Attorney for Health Care, a legal document that allows you to appoint the person(s) of your choice to make decisions for you if you are found unable to make decisions yourself. Advance Directives and planning is NOT just an Elder issue; it is an issue FOR ALL ADULTS,18 and over. Many factors may contribute to incapacitation (tramatic brain injury, dementia, alcohol, medications, etc!). Incapacitation can result in being found incompetent with a court appointed guardian who is appointed to make decisions in your best interest. Unfortunately, you may find your self in the web of Guardianship Abuse. “Medicate (Incapacitate), Isolate, Take Estate” is often their pattern! Our guests, Kathy and Coz, are representing NASGA to help you be aware of this silent epidemic across our nation that is taking over the lives of many people and isolating them from their family and friends. Our guests are not attorneys and refer you to the disclaimer on the NASGA website. We urge you to learn more! Protect Yourself and Inform Others!
