Adding Guardianship to
Your Advocacy Practice
Tuesday, February 11 <- next
week!
As advocates, we know we do not make decisions for
clients. That’s spelled out clearly in our standards and
ethics.
However, the reality of our work sometimes means our
clients cross that line from the place where they are
perfectly capable of self-determination, to a place
where they aren’t capable – and need help. Or, they may
realize that the time will come, some day (even if not
today) that they may need a decision-maker to advocate
for them. This is particularly true of Solo Seniors /
Elder Orphans. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
How do we, as advocates who
DON’T make decisions for clients shift our position to
decision-maker? Is that
something we, as business owners, want to do? Are we
competent to do so? Do we meet the criteria? Can we
legally provide such services?
Jenny Schmidt, our expert for this call, will describe
the differences among these service areas, and the legal
and competency updates we need to make to offer such
services in our own practices. We’ll discuss a range of
topics from what sorts of services can be provided, to
the legal differences that need to be addressed in our
contracts, to how to find guardianship clients
(including hospitals, law enforcement, Adult Protective
Services, and others), and how to get paid for doing
this work. |

|

This is a great marketing book that is exceptionally organized,
easy to understand and includes exceptional advice. The specific
marketing strategies on public relations, creative ideas on
developing and defining your brand and the wonderful resource
list at the end of the book are just a few reasons why I love
and recommend this book. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
While the information in the book is basic - good for someone
with no business experience - it also lays out a concrete path
of 'must do' tasks for anyone starting a private healthcare
advocate business and keeps you on track. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
This book is well written, well organized, and contains valuable
information for businesses in this field. I recommend it without
reservation. |
