Services - Guardianship and Protective Services (GAPS)

Overview | D2C | FLIP | GAPS | AA & E

Unique among social service agencies, CareSource provides guardianship and trustee services, under court supervision.

Guardians are appointed by the court to represent clients who are unable to make their own financial and personal decisions.

Guardians step in when:

• families disagree
• when there are no family members to assist with health, financial or personal matters
• property and assets must be protected and managed
• the individual is vulnerable for exploitation

CareSource guardians are respected for their professionalism, integrity and experience. Our principal guardians are also distinguished as educators for the state-mandated Family Guardian and Professional Guardian training courses. CareSource has trained more than 2,000 guardians, helped develop the Professional Guardian Competency exam, and offers the only formal Guardian Internship Program in South Florida.
