Volunteer Guardians are needed for a program for the elderly through the Southeast Tennessee Area Agency on Aging Public Guardian Program, officials said.
Jan Levan said, "We need volunteer guardians. Being a Volunteer Guardian for a dependent adult is a great opportunity to show compassion for our aging population. Dependent adults can be vulnerable as a result of their mental or physical disability.
"The Volunteer Guardian will, through court appointment, legally make decisions for the care of the dependent adult. The apointment is made after appropriate training is completed and a petition is filed with the court.
"The training and petition are provided as a service of the Southeast Tennessee Public Guardian Program."
