Please join us for the Indiana Paralegal Association's
April 20, 2016 monthly meeting.
Speaker:
Brandy D. James, M.A., M.S. – Director, Volunteer Advocate Program
Topic:
The Center for At-Risk Elders (CARE)
The Center for At-Risk Elders (CARE) is a non-profit, lawyer-led team of advocates guarding Indiana’s neglected, abused, and exploited elders.
Indiana’s Adult Protective Services (APS) program, mandated by federal law, is the only state program in America that is structured as a criminal justice function. Unlike Indiana’s APS program, CARE’s focus is on providing civil remedies to redress and protect against elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. CARE’s focus centers on providing legal services to establish adult guardianships where appropriate. These services uniquely focus on offering emergency guardianship intervention services which are designed to offer protection for elders who are being exploited financially, abused, or neglected, and for those at imminent risk of being so, which can include self-neglect and exploitation, abuse, or neglect by relatives or others.
CARE provides “legal horsepower” to other Indiana non-profit groups that provide volunteer guardianship programs. CARE also provides assistance to private attorneys capable of representing private guardians but perhaps ill equipped to handle emergency guardianship interventions. In addition to these and other program services, CARE serves as a resource to professionals and the general public on issues relating to the challenge of providing care to elders in crisis or in need of protection.
