Summary of Specifications:
For the purpose of this RFP, Guardianship or Conservatorship Services consist of services conducted as a result of a public administrative court petition through which a person or organization is appointed the responsibility to make decisions for and about the care of a senior individual, aged 60 years and older, who resides in Genesee County. A Conservator is appointed to handle financial affairs and other assets of a senior individual who the court has determined is confused and unable to manage their resources. A Conservator does not have the right to make medical decisions or to determine where a senior individual resides. A Guardian is appointed to make personal decisions, including medical decisions or where a senior individual should reside, after a court has determined that the individual is not capable of making informed decisions and guardianship is necessary. The guardianship may be full or limited. In a full guardianship, if there is no conservator, the guardian has the power to handle income and assets. In a limited guardianship, the specific powers are set forth in the court order.
