General Info
The 11-member Adult Public Guardianship Review Board reviews each guardianship that a public agency holds and determines whether to continue, modify or terminate such arrangements. A guardian is a person or organization that is court-appointed to make medical and personal decisions for an individual who is incapable of doing so due to a physical or mental disability.
The Adult Public Guardianship Program:
Serves as court-appointed public guardian of person for Anne Arundel County residents who are 65 years or older;
Provides education and information to citizens and professionals about the importance of medical advance directives, alternatives to guardianship, and the guardianship process;
Conducts investigations to identify capable relatives, friends, interested parties or organizations to assume medical decision-making responsibilities; and
Manages and coordinates decision-making regarding medical and personal care, including participation in the end-of-life decisions as ordered by the court.
Meeting Information
The Board meets at least twice annually, in April and October.
