Comments
Meanwhile, the Commonwealth does not license, oversee, or supervise in any way 611 of the 1212 human beings in public guardianship programs like Jewish Family Service of Tidewater and Catholic Charities of Eastern Virginia.
Have a complaint? Too bad, you are a victim of "private" guardianship. The overwhelming majority of these so-called "private" cases are instigated and/or funded by public social services departments, public community services boards, and hospitals. The Division for the Aging and the Virginia Public Guardian and Conservator Advisory Board, which are supposed to oversee these programs and protect these clients, have instead demonstrated stunning creativity in manufacturing excuse after excuse as to why they can't possibly stop abuse and neglect like that perpetrated for years by the notorious Scott Schuett. Please google Scott Schuett for the details too appalling to enumerate.
You can't do manicures or cut hair without a license, background check, and complaint process, but you can call yourself a public guardianship program and make critical decisions about the life, health, and property of elderly and disabled citizens.
