Guardianship and Conservatorship

Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia, Inc. (CCEVA) serves as Guardian for individuals who have been deemed incapacitated by the courts. When no family member is able to take on the care of their loved one, CCEVA Guardianship caseworkers take on the role of caregiver. Individuals in the Guardianship Program receive on-going case management and on-going monitoring of their needs and services. In its role as Guardian, CCEVA assumes responsibility for the personal affairs of an incapacitated person, including responsibility for making decisions regarding the person’s support, care, health, safety, rehabilitation, therapeutic treatment, appropriate housing, residential services and supervision. Guardianship clients become CCEVA family members and are cared for throughout the remainder of their life.
