Our Mission
To provide professional, efficient and compassionate guardianship services while protecting the legal rights of every protected person under our care through the least restrictive means possible. GSB strives to balance protection with individual autonomy by securing the health and safety of these wards while safeguarding their individual rights and preserving their dignity and independence wherever possible.
Our Goals:
Public Guardianship
The GSB is appointed by the Probate Court to serve as the guardian of last resort when no other qualified person or entity is willing and able to serve as the guardian for an incapacitated adult.
Volunteer Visitors
Develop a team of trained volunteers who will visit wards on a regular basis to safeguard against abuse, neglect and exploitation and to ensure that the ward’s needs are being met.
Community Partners
Expand GSB collaboration with community partners, including social service agencies, healthcare providers and government entities to develop the resources necessary to support GSB’s mission and to achieve its goals.
Accountability
As a Public Guardian, the GSB is accountable to the ward, the Probate Court and the community to ensure the health and safety of all vulnerable adults under its care while balancing their individual rights and independence wherever possible.
