ADVOCATES FOR CONSERVED ELDERS (ACE) PROGRAM

WHAT Trained volunteers visit conserved elderly and others in nursing facilities to serve as the conservatee’s advocate and look out for overall well-being and report signs of abuse or neglect. Conserved individuals are those who are no longer able to make their own decisions with respect to their health and finances and those decisions are then handed over to the state.
WHYSince the court is unable to perform regular checks on the large number of conservatees in the state’s nursing facilities, volunteer provide an extra pair of eyes and ears for the court on their well- being.
