The Adult Guardianship Coordinator provides support for adults in need of a guardian to assist with the various requirements they must meet, including but not limited to legal, financial, and medical decisions. The Adult Guardianship Coordinator assists those that are deemed unable to live independently and have been legally determined to be incapacitated.

The Adult Guardianship Coordinator (AGS Coordinator) plays an important role as the court appointed representative for adults who are unable to make informed decisions or to advocate for themselves. The AGS Coordinator acts as an agent of Thrive Alliance, who is the legal guardian, and carries out the duties required of the representative/guardian.

The AGS Coordinator meets regularly with the individual based on the State requirements, or as needed, to ensure the individual is receiving quality care from care providers. The AGS Coordinator must ensure that the individual's finances are in order, they have the resources needed, and are receiving everything they should based on their care plan.
