M
B
May
9th
2023
minutes
and
I
these
were
these
went
out
in
advance
in
the
meeting.
I
have
a
couple
of
Corrections
Tom
one
is
that
we
had
a
virtual
attendee
and
her
name
is
h-u-o-n-g-om,
not
well
I'm,
so
we
misspelled
her
name.
B
B
That
to
express
that
he
expressed
support
for
the
escort-
yes,
okay,
thanks
and
then
the
final
is
that,
under
the
at
the
end
of
the
meeting,
the
committee
approved
a
motion
to
ask
the
csb
for
support
of
for
acceptance
of
10
State
rental
assistance
program
vouchers
available
from
I.
Don't
know
what
all
the
letters
stand
for,
but
it's
bbhds.
I
B
B
Next,
we
have
Lou
saving
nail
from
The.
Arc
is
going
to
go
into
the
arc
update.
Do
we
have
a
budget
Lucy?
It's
July.
You
promised.
Q
In
terms
of
budget,
we
have
no
budget
very,
very
frustrating
situation
in
which
to
find
ourselves
so
now,
even
the
things
that
were
all
but
assured
that
we
would
get
meaning
that
they
were
in
the
governor's
budget
and
not
touched
or
in
both
the
house
and
the
Senate
reconciled
budget,
that
we
were
just
waiting
for
the
formality
of
the
budget
to
be
signed
to
happen.
Q
We
can't
touch
so
that
would
be
things
like
combining
caps
on
assistive
technology
and
environmental
modifications
or
a
five
percent
raise
for
direct
caregivers
or
those
kinds
of
things
that
seems
in
the
slam,
dunk
territory.
So
that's
very
frustrating
to
State
the
obvious.
We
are
as
eagerly
awaiting
that
budget
as
anybody
else's
I
was
talking
with
some
house
aides
yesterday.
They
did
not
share
any
Insider
tips
or
hints
that
I
can
pass
along.
So
I
don't
even
have
good
Whispers
to
share,
as
we
talked
about
before.
Q
This
is
sort
of
a
mishmash
of
issues
which
is
the
overwhelming
majority
of
the
money.
People
on
the
Senate
are
retiring
or
have
lost
their
primaries
and
so
they're
in
very
odd
footing.
Some
federal
budget
stuff
has
shifted
and
there's
some
political
posturing.
I'll
say
that's
going
on
at
the
state
level.
That's
all
sort
of
happening
in
layers
that
are
making
it
harder
than
usual
to
get
a
budget
out.
So
as
soon
as
it
does
we'll
happy
to
share
news.
Q
In
that
vein,
I
was
going
to
say
that
in
September
and
October
we're
going
to
be
having
a
series
of
eight
candidate
forums
where
you
can
hear
from
people
running
for
House
and
Senate
I.
Think
it's
just
going
to
be
one
night
that
covers
all
of
Arlington
and
Alexandria,
but
we'll
have
a
couple
of
nights
for
Fairfax,
Prince,
William
Loudon,
it's
going
pretty
far-reaching
and
as
soon
as
I
have
those
dates
in
the
shareable
format.
Q
I'll
pass
it
on,
but
attending
meetings
like
that
and
talking
about
the
same
kinds
of
things
we
do
here,
it's
stressful
to
age
and
not
know.
If
there's
a
waiver,
it
is
very
hard
to
navigate
Services.
If
there's
no
budget,
when
we
tell
our
care
attendant,
they
can
get
a
raise
like
all
those
kinds
of
things
we
want
to
hear
from
you
all
attendees
at
those
forums.
Q
People
who
send
in
questions
in
advance
or
live
ask
questions
really
help
move
the
envelope
forward
and,
as
a
reminder,
all
of
the
house
and
all
of
the
Senate
are
up
for
election
this
year.
So
anyone
who
represents
you
on
our
LinkedIn
and
Hauser
Senate
is
going
to
be
on
the
ballot
and
it
is
a
chance
for
them
to
hear
from
you
as
much
it
is
for
us
to
hear
from
them.
I
was
going
to
also
add
that
some
changes
have
been
evolving
during
the
pandemic.
Q
Parents
had
the
first
time
ever
flexibility
to
be
paid
caregivers
to
minor
children,
children
less
than
18.
If
that
child
had
a
waiver,
that
was
the
flexibility
during
the
pandemic.
For
obvious
reasons,
right,
it
was
harder
to
bring
other
folks
into
the
home.
There
was
a
lot
of
push
to
make
that
permanent
and
the
way
it
was
made
permanent
was
going
to
require
parents
to
work
for
an
agency
to
oversee
caring
for
their
own
children.
Q
Parents
are
going
to
be
capped
at
40
hours
per
week,
though
of
the
amount
of
care
that
they
can
provide
for
minor
children.
Again.
These
are
limits
to
parents
caring
to
for
kids
under
18.,
but
tell
no
number
of
this
year.
We
remain
under
appendix
case
flexibilities,
which
are
exactly
as
they
have
been
for
years,
starting
in
November,
we'll
move
to
these
new
regulations.
That
say
yes
as
a
parent,
you
can
do
it.
Q
Yes,
you
can
do
Consumer,
Directed
or
agency,
but
you're
limited
to
40
hours
per
week
and
you've
got
to
log
in
on
an
electronic
timesheet
I
wanted
to
put
a
little
plug
in
here
to
say
we're
hearing
more
and
more
from
people
who
are
struggling
to
get
Companion
Care
authorized
campaign,
capital
c
for
companion,
capital
c
for
care,
the
proper
name
for
a
service.
It's
a
one-to-one
service
that
can
be
used
by
people
living
in
congregate
settings
like
group
homes.
Q
If
there
was
a
time
when
a
one-to-one
companion
was
coming
in
to
work
just
with
that
person
or
in
your
home
or
your
own
apartment
right,
it
can
be
used
in
lots
of
settings.
But
if
you
someone,
you
know,
has
struggled
to
get
Companion
Care,
especially
I'll,
say
if
in
the
last
year-ish
it
has
suddenly
started
to
be
denied.
I
would
love
to
be
connected
with
you.
Q
There's
a
family,
that's
trying
to
lead
a
charge
to
look
into
this,
and
since
someone
is
willing
to
take
the
mantle
I,
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
do
some
advocacy.
Q
It
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
to
hear
from
Medicaid
the
Department
of
Justice
other
families
and
Advocates
all
over
the
state,
directly
I'll
put
a
link
in
the
chat
it's
at
the
end
of
this
month,
July
31st
to
August
2nd
and
for
the
first
time
in
a
decade
at
least
it's
in
Richmond,
so
not
a
terrible
commute,
even
if
you
just
wanted
to
go
for
a
day
or
so
and
they
have
the
sessions
and
things
posted
they'll
be
doing
the
Keynotes
virtually,
but
not
the
breakout
sessions
and
I
am
partial
to
the
breakout
sessions,
because
that's
when
you
can
usually
get
into
nitty-gritty
things,
whereas
the
Keynotes
I
find
are
more
exciting
and
inspirational,
but
not
where
the
policy
wants
live
and
then
the
last
thing
is
that
we
have
a
number
of
brand
new
workshops
coming
up.
Q
There's
one
called
caring
for
the
caregiver,
which
we've
never
had
before
with
a
national
speaker
coming
up.
Our
transition
series
is
back.
This
fall
that
all
day,
two
day,
Saturday
session
to
help
families
who
are
leading
the
school
system
and
moving
to
the
adult
World,
our
Tech
team
is
doing
virtual
Tech
camps.
Q
So
people
with
disabilities
can
get
free,
customized
apps,
to
help
them
to
learn
to
be
more
independent
at
home
or
travel
training
or
in
a
host
of
situations,
work
and
daily
living
skills,
and
always
we
have
special
needs
to
trust
webinars
and
things
like
that.
So
that's
all
the
kind
of
stuff
that's
going
on
and
what's
not
I'm
happy
to
answer
questions
if
anybody
has
them
I.
B
P
B
B
So
that's
something
that
you
need
to
ask
if
you
want
to
go
and
you
would
like
to
be
able
to
afford
to
go
Lucy
as
I
as
I
understand
it's
a
great
place
for
for
people
with
disabilities
to
go
and
meet
up
with
other
people
with
disabilities
and
have
a
full.
B
So
if
you-
and
if
you
are
a
person
with
the
developmental
disability
or
you
or
you're,
a
caregiver
for
one,
that's
a
nice
opportunity
to
go,
and
you
can
call
your
service
coordinator
to
to
ask
to
get
that
authorized.
You
need
to
do
it.
Q
And
I'll
put
in
a
plug
that
I
know
it's
not
realistic
for
everybody
between
now
and
20
days
from
now
when
that
convention
starts
or
10
days
from
now
when
registration
ends
to
maybe
talk
to
their
support
coordinator
this
year
and
get
it
done,
but
now
that
the
ark
is
set
up
to
accept
that
family
and
individual
support
waiver,
the
FIS
waiver
line
item
it
when
you're
doing
your
annual
plan
this
year,
maybe
ask
for
that
money
next
year
in
advance
right,
get
it
in
in
your
plan.
Q
Q
Yeah,
so
we
are
now
12
years
approximately
into
a
10-year
legal
settlement,
which
is
a
clue
there
that
right
that
we
haven't
met
the
terms
of
the
settlement,
but
the
judge
who
is
looking
at
letting
Virginia
out
of
this
settlement,
which
would
mean
no
more
mandates
to
and
and
not
the
same
level
of
oversight
over
things
like
Crisis
Services
case
management,
kids
in
nursing
homes.
Q
It
covers
a
wide
scope
of
disability
services,
and
so
a
Department
of
Justice
pulls
back
that
pushes
some
of
the
force
that
has
been
moving
things
along
away,
not
that
it's
been
a
perfect
settlement
agreement,
but
it
certainly
has
been
an
impetus
to
making
things
happen
so
that
settlement
agreement
is
mostly
the
judge,
sorting
planning
to
hear
what
he
thinks
is
going
to
be
wrap
up.
Arguments.
Are
we
about
ready
to
bow
out
of
this
agreement?
Q
Perhaps
at
the
end
of
this
calendar
year,
I
would
say
the
Arc
of
Virginia
is
pushing
really
hard
to
have
a
big
showing
there
from
people
saying
I,
don't
really
think
we're
where
we
need
to
be
as
a
state
in
terms
of
the
availability
of
waivers
and
crisis
services
and
other
kinds
of
quality
community-based
care.
We
would
like
to
stay
under
the
settlement
agreement
that
forces
some
other
kinds
of
options
along,
and
so
it's
open
to
the
public.
There's
not
an
opportunity
for
the
public
to
speak
there
per
se
other
than
your
presence
speaks
volumes.
Q
People
who
go
down
and
spend
a
day
sitting
in
that
courtroom,
I'm
sure
the
Ark
of
Virginia
can
have
people
wear
orange
or
sit
together.
Those
kinds
of
things
is
a
way
to
make
an
impact,
or
at
least
to
hear
about,
what's
going
on,
if
you're
interested
and
Jerry
I'm
happy
to
send
a
little
blurb
about
that,
along
with
the
notes
that
I
share
tonight,
if
you
want
to
get
it
passed
around
and.
I
S
Sure
sorry
I
had
you
go
ahead,
one
is
there.
S
They
specified
is
that
there
seems
to
be
you
know,
an
increase
I've
noticed
in
general,
but
other
services
also
being
people
having
tougher
time
scanning
their
services
they
need
especially
this
year.
S
S
Hearing
that's
happening,
you
know.
No
one
has
a
you
know
a
Magic
8
Ball
on
this,
but
and
to
make
you
know
these
guesses
and
that
but
I
mean
the
argument
against
I.
Guess
this
this
settlement
and
that
and
that
How
likely
a
judge
would
rule
against
this
or
or.
F
That
How
likely.
S
Would
it
be
that
this
would
overrule
I
mean
overturned
or
something
like
that?
Is
there
political
signs
that
there
could
be
kind
of
a
because
that
would
be
a
pretty
big
hit?
Would
it
not
if
I
mean
if
this
this
was
overturned,
I
mean
the
settlement,
so
I
mean
How
likely?
Could
that
happen
and
what
would
occur
if
that
was
overturned,
I
mean
what
steps
would
be
taken.
The
Salvage.
Q
Good
question
so
to
just
continue
the
settlement
to
just
say:
Virginia
I
am
not
letting
you
out
at
the
end
of
this
calendar
year
would
not
be
a
big,
overturning
or
create
a
lot
of
political
upheaval
and
I.
Think
that's
the
hope
that
just
the
terms
of
the
settlement
will
be
extended
longer
to
have
Virginia
using
my
terms
under
the
microscope.
G
So
we
are
currently
on
schedule
at
the
state
level
to
exit
the
doj
settlement
agreement,
December
31st
of
2023-
that
is
an
extension
of
a
year
and
a
half
past
the
June
30th
of
2022
date,
for
which
the
judge
granted
the
extension
of
that
and
we
are,
there-
are
certain
indicators
and
measures
and
dbhds
the
Deputy
Commissioner
Heather
Norton
was
very
optimistic
that
we
will
get
there,
and
so
we
are
there's
still
some
indicators
that
are
not
fully
in
compliance
so,
but
we're
on
track
for
that,
and
so,
if
it,
in
the
event
that
it
gets
extended,
I
would
agree
with
Lucy,
maybe
six
months
to
a
year.
G
I,
don't
know
that
a
full
year
would
be
necessary
in
terms
of
that,
the
judge
is
also
looking
at
getting
into
compliance
and
sustaining
compliance
as
well
and
so
they're
tracking
the
indicators
that
we
have
met
up
to
date.
So
there's
some
indicators
that
we
met.
You
know
two
years
ago,
so
we
met
six
months
ago.
Something
went
about
a
year
ago,
so.
A
G
Of
those
indicators
we've
been
in
compliance
series
for
at
least
a
year,
the
department
is
also
greatly
committed
to
sustaining
all
changes
that
were
made
as
a
result
of
external
agreement.
So
once
we
exit
the
settlements
to
know
that
all
of
the
indicators
will
continue
to
be
enforce
by
the
department,
the
likelihood
show
of
this
whole
thing
being
overturned
yeah.
That
would
be
detrimental,
but
that
is
a
zero
probability
appreciate
it.
B
Getting
my
things
wrong,
so
thank
you.
Okay,
any
other
questions
for
Lucy.
Thank
you,
Lucia
for
always
bringing
us
the
latest
and
greatest.
We
appreciate
it
we're
lucky
to
have
you.
Q
B
L
Oh,
thank
you
I'm
very
happy
to
be
here,
maimuna
I'm,
putting
in
a
petition
for
Guru
of
guardianship
to
be
the
official
title.
L
That
so,
first
off
some
of
you
guys
names
sound
very
familiar
to
me.
So
it's
exciting
to
be
able
to
put
like
voices
and
names
to
them.
I
read
all
of
the
guardianship
reports,
so
I
have
seen
many
of
your
guys's
names
across
my
desk
a
few
times.
So
this
is
nice.
L
L
Don't
have
really
good
data
about
that,
just
because
we
don't
keep
track
of
the
birth
dates
or
the
ages
of
our
Guardians,
so
I'm
kind
of
working
on
a
workaround
for
that,
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
about
guardianship
as
a
whole,
some
other
Alternatives
and
then
some
things
about
future
planning.
So,
to
start
off
my
most
recent
figure,
there
are
449
active
guardianship
cases
in
Arlington
of
those
there's
136,
which
is
about
30
that
are
receiving
support
coordination
Services
through
the
DD
program.
So
a
pretty
big
chunk.
That's
why
so?
L
So
when
we're
looking
at
autonomy
decision
making
guardianship,
this
is
a
joint
position
statement
from
the
American
Association
on
intellectual
and
developmental
disabilities
and
also
the
arc,
so
their
current
trends
presume
that
the
decision-making
capacities
of
individuals
with
idd
and
the
preservation
of
legal
capacity
as
a
priority
for
all
people
needing
assistance
with
decision
making.
L
The
individuals
with
idd
are
also
they
should
be
assisted
to
develop
as
decision
makers
through
education
supports
and
life
experience.
An
important
note
is
that
communication
challenges
should
not
be
misinterpreted
as
lack
of
Competency
to
make
decisions.
So
every
effort
to
try
alternative
methods
of
communication
should
be
tried
and
just
not
assuming
that
there's
a
lack
of
understanding,
and
then
this
is
true
both
for
individuals,
idd
or
anyone
that,
like
a
guardianship,
might
be
an
option
for
the
less
restrictive
means
of
decision
making
should
always
be
tried
first
and
found
to
be
ineffective.
L
L
So
a
little
bit
more
about
decision
making,
because
that's
really
what
this
is
all
about.
All
adults
have
a
right
to
make
choices
about
their
lives.
If
an
adult
needs
help
with
making
those
decisions,
whether
that's
health
or
personal,
or
if
that's
managing
money
and
property,
they
should
be
supported.
L
These
supporters
can
be
trusted
family
friends,
professionals,
some
of
our
estate
and
elder
law,
attorneys
other
people
or
organizations
that
help
the
adult
to
understand
their
choices,
make
choices
and
then
communicate.
The
decisions
appropriately
supports
can
be
informal.
So
that's
just
family
members
helping
out
with
making
decisions.
They
can
be
formalized
through
legal
documents
like
power
of
attorneys,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
more
as
well.
L
These
supports
can
be
for
health
and
personal
decisions
so
for
the
person
that
includes
where
they're
living,
if
we're
consenting
to
medical
procedures
or
also
financial
decisions,
if
an
adult
needs
help
managing
his
or
her
own
life
decisions,
and
there
are
no
supports
a
court
May
appoint
a
guardian
or
a
conservator
to
make
decisions
on
that
person's
behalf.
L
But
again
this
should
be
a
last
resort.
Guardianship
and
conservatorship
take
away
basic
human
decision-making
rights
so
like
the
right
to
enter
into
contracts
to
marry,
to
vote
things
like
that,
unless
they're
otherwise
specified
are
taken
away
when
guardianship
goes
into
place.
So
that's
why
it's
always
Our
Last
Resort.
L
L
L
You
have
financials
so
authorized
signers,
where
if
one
person
is
signing
a
check
or
making
a
payment,
somebody
else
has
to
sign
off
on
it
as
well.
Joint
accounts,
Social,
Security,
representative
payees
and
then
the
veteran
administration
fiduciaries,
and
then
there
are
durable
Powers
of
Attorney
and
then
there's
a
third
kind
of
category.
That's
called
supported
decision
making
agreements.
L
These
are
very
different.
These
are
for
individuals
who
have
capacity,
so
they
haven't
been
found
incapacitated
by
courts.
There's
no
questions
on
the
medical
front
about
capacity
to
make
decisions.
They
retain
decision-making
Authority
for
themselves,
but
they
have
supports
in
place
that
they
consult
with
for
guidance
and
I'll
go
in
a
little
bit
more
on
the
next
slide.
L
L
Sometimes
you
see
an
attorney
kind
of
get
involved
and
help
write
those
up,
but
this
is
written
for
an
adult
who's
capable
of
making
those
decisions
with
support
of
others.
These
documents
State
under
what
conditions,
what
circumstances
they
want
support,
who
they
want
to
support
them
and
how
they
want
that
support
to
be
received,
so
you're
really
putting
the
power
in
that
individual's
hands.
L
Moving
forward
a
little
bit,
you
have
advanced
directives.
These
require
still
that
the
person
has
the
capacity
to
make
decisions.
These
are
written
agreements,
written
statements
that
address
the
forms
of
health
care
that
you
would
consent
to.
If
you
are
later
capable
or
I'm
sorry
later
incapable
of
making
a
decision,
you
then
have
your
Powers
of
Attorney.
So
in
Virginia
we
have
Advanced
directives
and
medical
powers
of
attorneys
are
kind
of
the
same
thing.
L
L
If
there's
any
court
cases
involving
financials,
they
can
appear
on
your
behalf
authorizing
payments,
those
kinds
of
things
moving
forward.
You
have
authorized
representatives.
L
L
They'll
have
an
authorized
representative
and
then,
on
the
end
of
the
most
restrictive,
you
have
temporary
Guardianship
and
limited
Guardianship
and
then
full
Guardianship
and
then
we'll
go
into
that
a
little
bit
further,
as
well,
so
least
restrictive
to
most
restrictive
that
just
kind
of
lays
that
up
for
you
do
okay.
So
when
we're
talking
about
representative
pay,
ee
I
feel
like
this
is
one
a
little
bit
more
relevant
for
your
families.
Your
client
base.
L
These
are
for
individuals
that
receive
government
benefits,
so
your
Social
Security,
your
disability,
those
kinds
of
things
that
agency
has
processes
for
selecting
a
representative
that
can
be
a
family
member
that
can
be
an
attorney,
a
group
home
or
something
like
a
Nova
Rep
payee
services,
and
they
help
manage
those
benefits,
make
sure
medical
payments
are
being
made
any
payments
or
group
homes.
Things
like
that
living
allowances,
making
sure
that
everything
is
properly
outlined.
L
So
this
is
only
managing
that
government
benefit.
This
isn't
any
other
money
or
property
if
they
have
a
job
and
they
get
paid
bi-weekly
you're,
not
managing
that
money
if
they
own
property.
This
doesn't
give
you
the
rights
to
that
or
anything
like
that.
L
The
representative
manages
the
money
for
the
benefit
of
the
person
not
for
their
own
benefit.
They
have
to
manage
it
carefully,
keep
it
separate
from
their
own
funds
and
keep
Good
Records.
The
Social
Security
Administration
can
actually
audit
and
request
records
receipts
just
to
kind
of
see
how
the
money
is
being
spent
make
sure
it's
being
spent
for
the
good
of
the
person
who's
receiving
the
money.
L
L
A
guardian
is
someone
who's
appointed
by
the
court
responsible
for
the
Affairs
of
an
incapacitated
person
as
a
guardian,
you're
responsible
for
decisions
about
the
person's
support,
their
Care
Health
safety,
rehabil,
Rehabilitation,
education,
therapeutic
treatment
and
residents,
if
indicated
so,
if
they're
going
to
school,
if
they're
going
to
day
programs,
Physical
Therapy
occupational
therapy,
all
those
things
you're
responsible
for
setting
that
up,
consenting
to
services
and
so
on,
under
the
full
guardianship
you
have
limited
guardianship.
L
These
are
guardianships
for
an
incapacitated
person
who
is
capable
of
addressing
some
of
the
essential
requirements
for
their
care.
In
most
of
these
cases,
they're
The,
Limited
purpose
of
medical
decision
making
so
consenting
to
Medical
Treatments
prescribed
medications
deciding
places
of
residency,
whether
they
can
be
admitted
into
a
hospital,
and
things
like
that.
It's
important
to
note
under
any
type
of
guardianship,
you
can
consent
to
treatment
and
medication,
but
you
cannot
force
medication
and
treatments.
So
that's
that's
not
something
that
guardianships
allow
for
and
then
there's
also
temporary
Guardians.
L
Exactly
that
sounds
there's
a
defined
time
frame.
These
are
typically
in
place
until
a
permanent
Guardian
can
be
appointed.
The
powers
that
are
granted
to
a
guardian
are
only
what
is
outlined
in
the
court
order,
nothing
more,
nothing
less.
So
if
it's
not
written,
then
that's
not
a
power
that
you
have.
L
So
that's
why
you
want
to
consult
with
the
attorney.
That's
open!
You
write
this
up,
make
sure
everything
you
need
is
in
there.
L
So
as
a
child,
when
a
child
turns
18,
the
legal
capacity
to
make
their
own
decisions
becomes
theirs,
so
all
their
decision-making
rights
are
transferred
from
their
parent
or
Guardian.
Unless
a
court
is
appointing
like
a
court
appointed
Guardian,
that's
the
right
to
manage
finances,
decide
where
they
live.
Making
Health
Care
decisions
and
appointments
HIPAA
goes
into
effect
there.
You
can
no
longer
call
the
doctor
and
ask
you
know
how
the
last
appointment
go.
L
What
medications
are
we
prescribing
things
like
that
in
Virginia,
petitions
for
guardianship
can
be
filed
no
earlier
than
six
months
prior
to
the
respondent.
In
this
case,
this
would
be
your
child,
your
client's,
18th
birthday,
so
General
recommendation,
you
kind
of
start
around
17
Gathering
your
documents
at
17
and
six
months.
You
can
officially
file
the
petition,
so
it's
in
place
when
they
turn
18.
So
you
don't
have
that
Gap
in
care
and
access
to
records
guardianship
terminates
the
rights
of
the
child.
So
that's
just
the
big
thing
there.
L
L
Okay,
and
then
we
talk
a
lot
guardianship
versus
conservatorship,
some
states.
They
use
the
words
interchangeably,
it's
all
a
guardianship,
it's
all
a
conservatorship
in
Virginia.
They
are
separate
so
guardianship,
you
think
of
the
person.
Conservatorship
is
more
property
and
money,
so
a
conservator
is
also
appointed
by
the
court,
but
they
manage
the
estate.
So
if
any
property
and
financial
affairs
of
the
incapacitated
person-
and
then
you
might
be
wondering
well,
why
do
you
need
a
representative
payee?
If
you
have
a
conservator
great
representative
payees?
Those
are
only
those
government
benefits.
L
If
that's
the
only
income
you're
really
looking
at
managing
a
representative
payee
will
cover
most
of
the
bases.
If
you're
looking
at
there's
trust
money
involved.
There's
a
large
inheritance
sitting
in
a
bank
account
somewhere
there's
more
money
than
just
like
Social
Security.
You
would
want
to
have
a
conservatorship
in
place
to
be
able
to
manage
those
finances
and
then
because
these
are
separate,
conservatorships
are
managed
in
a
separate
office.
They
go
to
the
commissioner
of
accounts.
L
L
This
is
excuse
my
Alexa
going
off
in
the
background
I'm
sorry,
an
incapacitated
person
is
an
adult
who's
been
found
by
a
court
to
be
incapable
of
receiving
and
evaluating
information
effectively,
or
they
cannot
respond
to
people
events,
the
environment,
to
such
an
extent
that
they
are
unable
to
meet
the
essential
requirements
for
their
health
care,
their
health,
their
care,
their
safety
or
their
therapeutic
needs
without
Assistance
or
protection
or
they're
unable
to
manage
their
property
or
financial
financial
affairs
without
the
assistance
of
a
conservator.
L
L
L
What's
leading
up
to
this
decision,
understanding
the
consequences
or
potential
consequences
of
said
decision,
then
you
are
not
incapacitated
and
then
only
a
court
can
find
someone
to
be
incapacitated.
L
And
then
we
look
at
the
steps
to
be
appointed
as
a
guardian
or
conservator.
You've
got
six
big
like
Steps,
more
or
less
sections.
The
first
is
the
petition,
so
any
person
can
file
a
petition
in
a
Virginia
Circuit
Court,
stating
that
someone
that
a
resident
of
Virginia
needs
a
guardian
or
conservator.
L
Once
that
petition
is
filed,
the
judge
appoints
a
guardian
ad
litem.
The
guardian
of
Litem
investigates
the
statements
in
the
petition
reports
to
the
court.
In
that
same
hearing,
the
judge
hears
the
evidence
that
you,
as
the
petitioner,
have
provided
that
the
respondent.
This
will
be
your
child.
Your
client
is
incapacitated.
These
include
your
psychological
evaluations,
your
physician
statements,
medical
records,
those
kinds
of
things.
L
L
If
they
rule
yes,
then
they
issue
a
court
order.
That's
the
responsibility
of
the
petitioner
or
their
attorney
to
write
up
the
court
order
of
appointment
and
the
judge
signs
it
that
officially
appoints
you
as
guardian,
but
very
important
step.
You
cannot
act
as
a
guardian
until
you
have
qualified
before
the
clerk,
so
in
Arlington
you
just
go
downstairs
to
the
clerk's
office
post
hearing.
They
have
some
forms
that
you
fill
out.
You
take
your
oath
of
Guardianship
and
then
you
get
your
official
letter
of
qualification.
L
L
So
that's
that's
the
last
the
last
step,
but
arguably
the
most
important
and
then
breaking
it
down
just
a
little
bit
more.
So
when
you're
filing
your
petition
for
guardianship,
you
have
to
file
it
in
the
Circuit
Court
of
the
city
or
county,
where
the
respondent
is
a
resident
or
where
they
were
a
resident
prior
to
being
admitted
to
a
hospital
or
like
a
nursing
facility.
L
Any
Resident
of
Virginia
can
file
a
petition
for
guardianship.
The
recommendation
is
not
to
try
and
do
it
by
yourself,
though
you
can
always
call
the
clerk's
office.
I'll
walk
you
through
the
process,
but
there's
a
lot
of
like
little
steps
and
requirements.
It's
complex
is
what
it's
always
told
to
me.
L
L
A
guardian
ad
Venom
is
another
attorney
they're
appointed
by
a
judge
to
help
the
court
make
a
decision.
The
guardian
ad
litem
does
not
represent
a
person;
they
are
a
neutral
third
party.
They
give
the
court
independent
views
about
what
might
be
best
for
the
respondent,
so
they're
allowed
to
conduct
interviews
and
investigations.
They
can
talk
to
you
as
the
parents,
health
care
providers,
the
respondents
just
to
kind
of
sustain,
substantiate
the
claims
of
incapacity,
and
then
they
then
make
a
report
to
the
courts
and
participate
in
the
hearings.
L
The
the
main
reason
the
guardian
ad
litem
is
appointed
is
to
just
ensure
that
the
rights
of
the
respondent
are
being
respected,
that
the
claim
of
incapacity
is
valid
and
we're
not
taking
rights
away.
Just
for
no
reason
just
because
somebody
said
it
was
necessary,
so
it's
just
a
safeguard
for
client
for
your
child.
L
Okay,
then
we
talked
about
evidence.
We
said
that
that
includes
the
report
that
evaluates
the
medical
condition
of
the
respondent
that
can
be
prepared
by
a
licensed
physician
psychologist.
Anyone
who
is
a
licensed
professional
and
is
skilled
in
the
assessment
and
treatment
of
whatever
condition
the
respondent
has.
Ideally
it's
someone
familiar
with
their
case.
L
You
can
have
multiple
physician
statements,
whatever
you
feel
is
necessary.
The
court
also
considers
the
following
when
they're
looking
at
evidence,
so
the
capabilities
of
the
respondent.
What
are
they
able
to
do
unassisted?
What
are
they
really
able
to
understand
the
development
of
the
respondent's,
maximum
self-reliance
and
Independence,
so
even
in
implementing
a
guardianship,
are
we
still
making
sure
that
the
respondent
is
involved
in
decisions
in
that
their
wishes
are
being
taken
into
account
as
much
as
is
feasible?
L
There's
also
the
availability
of
less
restrictive
Alternatives,
so
they
ask.
Have
you
tried
any
of
those
least
restrictive,
Alternatives
like
a
power
of
attorney,
a
supported
decision-making
agreement
if
you
did
and
it
didn't
work?
Why
was
that?
What
was
unsuccessful?
If
you
cannot
try
it
for
a
like,
very
specific
reason,
which
there
definitely
are?
L
What
is
that
reason?
They
also
look
at
the
extent
to
which
it
is
necessary
to
protect
the
respondent
from
neglect,
abuse
or
exploitation.
L
L
So
now
you've
been
appointed
some
of
this
for
our
parents
who
are
Guardians.
This
might
be
a
little
new.
We
changed
the
code,
not
we.
The
legislature
changed
the
code
on
July
1st
of
this
year,
so
your
big
responsibility,
you're,
expected
to
visit
the
incapacitated
person
as
often
as
necessary.
What's
new
this
year.
Is
that
means
at
least
three
times
per
year.
A
lot
of
you
live
with
live
with
your
children
or
live
near
your
children.
So
that's
not
really
a
big
deal,
but
that
is
a
new
change
to
the
code.
L
These
visits
are
as
often
as
necessary
to
know
what
their
capabilities
are.
What
limitations
has
anything
changed?
Are
there
any
needs?
Any
areas
that
need
to
be
addressed
unless
otherwise
specified
by
the
court
you're
responsible
for
the
personal
affairs
of
the
incapacitated
person
so
you're
making
the
decisions
about
their
support?
What
caregivers
are
present,
what
doctor's
appointments
they're
going
to
if
they
need
urgent
care
or
an
emergency
visit?
L
Are
they
living
in
a
safe
environment?
What
other
treatments
are
you
consenting
to
and
then
also
where
they
live,
depending
on
their
condition?
The
least
restrictive
living
Arrangement
is
usually
best.
The
incapacitated
person's
home
is
usually
preferable
to
other
living
arrangements.
Again,
that's
individualized
per
person.
Are
they
better
suited
at
home?
Is
a
group
living
environment
more
suitable,
or
are
they
one
who
can
live
independently
with
community
supports
again
all
dependent
on
the
person's
condition
and
then
the
last
two
big
requirements?
L
You
have
to
notify
the
court
and
Department
of
Human
Services
if
you
move
or
if
the
incapacitated
person
moves,
and
then
you
also
have
to
notify
the
court
and
Department
of
Human
Services
and
submit
a
final
report
if
the
incapacitated
person
passes
away.
L
So
those
are
the
big
requirements,
that's
what's
required
required
by
the
code,
in
addition
to
filing
the
initial
and
annual
report,
which
you
all
are
all
very
familiar
with,
and
then
the
big
thing
here
is
when
you're
looking
at
Future
planning
for
yourself
as
parents
and
Guardians,
the
first
thing
you
can
always
do.
You
can
designate
a
co-guardian
I.
Think
that's
pretty!
That
happens
pretty
frequently
in
some
of
our
rdd
cases.
L
You
can
designate
another
adult
to
serve
alongside
you
as
guardian,
whether
that's
two
parents,
Guardians
you're,
appointing
a
sister,
a
brother,
those
code,
Guardians
connect
together
or
separately
depending
on
the
court
order
that
has
both
Guardians
active
at
the
same
time.
So
if
something
were
to
happen
to
the
other
there's
somebody
already
qualified
and
in
place
to
take
on
the
guardian
role,
you
can
also
in
this
court
order
when
you're
originally
appointed
as
a
guardian
designate
as
standby
Guardian.
L
L
This
person
does
not
qualify
until
they
are
needed,
so
they
are
just
kind
of
listed
in
in
the
order
and
then,
when
the
time
comes,
they
go
and
qualify
and
they're
ready
to
search.
You
can
also
nominate
a
guardian
and
a
will.
L
L
L
Ultimately,
you
can
also,
if
it
comes
down
to
it
and
something
is
to
happen
to
you
as
the
parent.
We
have
our
volunteer
guardianship
program,
there's
public
guardianship
slots
as
well
that
we
can
look
into
so
there
are
other
Alternatives,
but
these
are
your
your
best
cases
for
ensuring
that
somebody
is
there
and
somebody
that
you
know
and
trust.
L
So
those
are
our
big
ones.
There
I
also
included
I
thought
this
might
be
helpful.
We
have
a
guardianship
training
that
we
provide
to
mostly
our
new
volunteer
recruits,
who
are
serving
in
our
volunteer
program,
but
this
might
be
helpful
to
kind
of
look
at
the
specific
requirements,
the
petitioning
process
and
those
kinds
of
things
it
does
generate
a
certificate
at
the
end.
You
don't
have
to
send
it
to
me,
but
if
you
send
it
to
me,
it
helps
me
keep
track
of
how
many
people
have
completed
it
and
like.
L
If
you
send
me
your
thoughts,
that's
also
appreciated.
So
that's
another
resource
and
then
the
next
few
slides
are
just
more
resources.
That
I
think
it
would
be
helpful
for
you
all
to
have.
The
first
is
the
legal
services
of
Northern
Virginia,
so
this
is
the
largest
legal
aid
in
excuse
me,
legal
aid
organization
in
Virginia,
they're
serving
our
low-income
populations.
L
They
provide
services
in
a
variety
of
categories.
You've
got
your
consumer
law
mostly
for
us
we're
looking
at
Elder
Law
family
law.
They
have
staff
that
provides
legal
advice,
brief
Services
representation
in
court
hearings.
L
L
So
these
are
the
ones
that
I
see
frequently
that
get
a
lot
of
petitions
through
the
county.
I've
spoke
with
many
of
them
and
they're
all
very
friendly
super
easy
to
get
in
contact
with.
So
this
is
just
a
good
resource
to
have
on
hand,
I
think
and
then
more
resources,
because
I
am
a
proponent
of
never
having
too
many
resources.
So
the
first
one
is
me:
you
can
email
me
anytime.
If
you
have
any
like
specific
questions,
really
individualized
questions.
L
I
know
sometimes
things
come
up
and
then
there's
also
anything
from
the
VA
Courts
website
are
documents
created
by
the
working
interdisciplinary
network
of
guardianship
stakeholders,
so
those
will
all
have
been
vetted
at
a
state
level
and
have
a
lot
of
good
information
about
guardianship.
Conservatorship.
L
The
third
one
is
where
a
lot
of
the
information,
about
least
restrictive
means
comes
in
and
then
I
also
linked.
The
Virginia
Legal
Aid
moms
in
motion
special
needs
planning
is
where
I
saw
a
lot
about
designating
Guardians
in
your
own
future
planning
and
then
the
supported
decision-making
agreements.
The
Virginia
Department
of
Behavioral,
Health
and
developmental
Services
has
a
plethora
of
resources,
I've
frequent
those
myself.
So
those
are
just
a
few
and
then
I
I'm
sure
there
are
questions
so
open
the
floor
after
I
figure
out
how
to
stop
here.
B
L
B
So
when,
if
we
don't
have
a
good
idea,
I
mean
those
folks
that
are
not
currently
living
in
group
homes,
for
instance,
or
may
not
be
connected
with
the
day
programs
or
maybe
working
and
maybe
want
to
go
to
a
day
program
or
elderly
program.
So
we
want
to
know
from
a
planning
perspective,
not
just
who's
graduating
from
high
school,
but.
A
B
G
G
Amazingly
asking
annually
and
assessing,
for
you
know
quarterly
as
well.
We
also
assess
for
every
person
when
they're
turning
18
ship,
and
then
we
also
do
what's
called
an
initial
capacity.
Screening
that
support
coordinators
do
for
individuals
open
to
vacate
their
case
load
as
well,
and
so
it's
asking
you
know,
questions
it's
actually
a
CSV
form
that
is
used
in
our
electronic
health
record.
G
That
is
followed
by
a
to
capacity
evaluation.
If
a
guardianship
is
indicated
based
on
that
assessment,
so
and.
G
Of
the
age
of
the
individual,
so
whether
someone
is
turning
18,
we
do
it
automatically
when
someone's
turning
18.,
but
then
I
think
we
do
it
every
four
years
for
individuals
that
are
over
the
age
of
40,
because
we
know
somebody
at
a
younger
age,
you
know,
might
not
necessarily
need
a
guardianship
between
you
but
things
change
and
so
the
older
they
get
as
the
individual
s
later
needed
a
guardian.
So
there
are
a
layer
of
different.
G
A
G
Show
every
person
that
has
a
legal
guardian
that
is
supported
by
DDS
and
that
can
capture
the
age
of
those
individuals
as
well,
but
that's
for
people
already
with
regarding.
We
don't
collect
the
ages
of
parents
and
caregivers,
so
we
wouldn't
have
that
information
to
provide,
but
we
do
and
I
think
our
support
coordinators
do
a
pretty
good
job
of
collecting
that
information.
It
is
also
something
one
of
those
areas
that
is
tracked
by
our
CRT.
Our
compliance
team
as
well
in
terms
of
just
assessing
our
compliance
for
looking
at
that
particular
area,
specifically
I.
S
S
S
Yeah
but
but
the
point
is,
you
know
so,
for
people
may
not
have
those
resources
enough
with
how,
when
do
you
start
Ed
playing?
So
that's
kind
of
my
question
also
is
kind
of
building
off
of
that
is
at
what
the
point
people.
G
S
Situations
but
and.
G
We
start
planning
it
where
they
turn
18.,
so
we,
you
know
we
have
a
a
team
of
support
coordinators
that
are
specifically
designated
to
working
with
you.
We
have
three
of
them
and
and
it's
so
it's
it's
a
question
that
we
started
asking
before
turning
18
so
like
to
be
sick.
You
know
you,
can
you
can
start
the
process
as
early
as
17
years
and
six
months
right,
so
the
support
coordinators
usually
know
who
those
individuals
are
right,
but
it's
a
it's
a
conversation
that
we're
having.
S
B
Or
well,
people
that
we
can
count
so
I,
don't
know,
I,
don't
know
if
you
have
power
database,
but
we're
concerned
with
the
numbers
of
folks
that
are
out
there
that
are
likely
to
need
supported
living
right.
B
Who
have
aging
parents
who
you
know
we
may
not
be
eligible,
for
instance,
for
the
Medicaid
waiver,
because
we
may
not
be
ready
to
I
mean
they
may
be
taking.
You
know
going
to
their
grave
and
then
hoping
something's
going
to
happen
for
their
personal
with
disability,
but
we'd
like
to
see
some
planning
put
in
place
so
that
we
know
who
we're
likely
to
need
to
help
for
planning
purposes.
G
Because
I
think
that
our
support
coordinators
are
effectively
having
those
conversations
and
planning,
but
we
do
not
capture
the
ages
of
parents
and
Guardians,
who
would
not
have
any
way
in
our
electronic
health
record
to
provide
data
to
say
who
that
who?
That
is.
But
we
have
various
layers
to
ensure
that
those
conversations
are
happening
right.
B
B
B
A
B
The
sister
is
now
in
charge,
you
know
who,
who
out
there
also
has
siblings,
who
are
now
in
charge.
I
know
we
had
one
person
that
came
to
our
meetings
has
is
in
charge
of
assembling
and
is
doing
the
best
they
can
but
they're
not
able
to
really
do
a
great
job
so
for
planning
purposes
for
groups
or
for
Arlington
County
Planning
purposes.
S
A
S
I
was
just
saying
you
know
just
that
there
was
just
with
the
Aging
part
of
my
parents,
but
I
was
just
thinking
that
you
know
I,
wonder
if,
like
what
is
it
called
whatever
you
have
like
the
individualized
plans,
you
have
something
I,
don't
know
if
there's
something
with
with
that,
that
would
have
almost
a
step-by-step
the
most
broad,
much
broader
thing,
where.
A
A
B
In
the
hospital-
and
you
know
them
too,
because
you've
had
to
take
care
of
these
situations-
parents
have
to
go
to
the
hospital
and
they're
the
only
parent,
that's
left
and,
and
that
parent
is,
is
nowhere
near
necessarily
saying.
Okay,.
A
O
G
G
We
have
identified
in
developmental
services,
are
there
outliers,
absolutely
and
those
are
often
driven
by
choice,
and
so
we
have
individuals.
In
fact,
I
had
a
parent
who,
literally
just
last
week,
who
we
know
you
know,
needs
a
legal
guardian
for
their
aging
adult
child
and
the
parent
refuses,
even
with
our
offer
of
support,
to
become
the
legal
guardian
for
leads
in
life.
Don't
fully
understand
how
the
grand
that
situation
we're
working
with
a
sister
and
trying
to
become
a
legal
guardian
for
that
individual,
but
it's
still
a
choice.
G
We
can't
force
someone
to
become
the
legal
guardian
for
someone.
We
recognize
the
need
for
that
and
so
on
a
Case
by
truth
basis.
We
look
for
other
people,
typically
usually
for
us
of
starting
with
relatives
that
can
step
in
to
be
someone's
legal
guardian,
but.
A
B
And
we're
we're
trying
to
approach
the
AJ
Herron
AJ
person
with
a
disability
issue
by
looking
at
the
only
place
that
I
think
my
moon
of
thought.
We
might
have
data,
which
is
the
guardianship
program,
so
I'm,
not
just
I'm,
not
as
concerned
about
people
not
having
Guardians
as
I
am
about
understanding
the
Aging
disability.
What
once
once
the
Medicaid
waivers
took
aging
the
age
of
parents
off
of
consideration
for
priority
placement?
O
G
That
would
be
if
the
person
qualifies
for
a
waiver.
That
is
one
of
the
quiet
criteria
by
which
we
can
request
an
emergency
waiver
slot
from
the
state.
If
that
were
to
happen,
there
is
a
mechanism
in
the
state
for
requesting
an
emergency
spot,
but
are
we
planning
for
people
I
believe
that
we
are
I?
Do
believe
that
you
are
yes.
B
A
S
A
voluntary
type
of
I
would
you
know
a
type
of
study
or
some
type
of
thing
to
do
a
report
or
anything
like
that.
G
G
In
terms
of
getting
reports
that
show
the
age,
is
it.
B
G
G
The
majority
of
older
people
who
are
have
Services
have
waivers
right
because.
G
E
I
F
I
L
I
I'm
gonna
tell
you
how
I
accept
them,
I,
don't
know
if
all
of
the
jurisdictions
do
this,
but
I
think
it's
silly
for
you
to
Xerox
the
exact
same
report
and
send
it
to
me.
So
if
you
both
sign
it,
that's
typically
how
myself
and
the
clerk
are
accepting
them.
Okay,
that's
perfect!
That's
what
we'll
do!
L
Thank
you,
because
I've
had
people
that
the
first
time
they're
appointed
they
it's
the
mom,
the
dad
they
both
live
together
with
the
kid
and
it's
the
exact
same
report
in
different
handwriting
and
I,
call
them
and
go
you
don't
have
to
do
that.
That's
that's!
That's
a
lot
of
work!
You
don't
have
to
do
that.
We've.
A
A
I
B
B
Okay,
one
of
the
things
I
wanted
to
hear
from
are
some
of
the
Aging
parents
and
folks
to
speak
up,
come
and
speak
up
and
we
can
hear
from
them.
So
does
anyone
want
to
share.
I
R
S
That
take
usually
with
the
for
the
Guardianship
and
how
long
does
that
usually
take
with
the
the
guardian,
the
evidence,
the
hearing
initial
site,
you
know
in
the
court
order?
How
long
does
that
usually
take
or
Guardianship,
and
then
the
process
for
the
researcher
ship.
L
L
I
know
for
our
cases
that
we
petition
they
don't
really
take
more
than
maybe
like
six
weeks
or
so,
but
I
don't
know.
If
that's
because
we're
petitioning
and
that's
how
it
works,
the
Guardianship
and
conservatorship
you
can
do
them
both
at
the
same
time,.
G
More
than
six
weeks,
the
court
I
know
for
Fairfax,
County
and
Arlington
as
well
require
a
minimum
of
two
weeks
between
the
time
that
you
are
submitting
your
petition,
your
request
and
the
time
before
the
hearing
can
be
scheduled.
It's
not
likely
to
be
scheduling
to
me,
but
you
need
to
have
that
time
buffer
as
well,
so
you
can't
file
one.
We
can
expect
a
hearing
the
next
few
right,
so
even
when
our
County
attorney
is
filing
on
our
behalf.
G
S
B
B
When
my
moon
and
I
were
discussing
the
agenda
for
this
meeting,
we
Converse
about
how,
with
all
the
listen
and
learns,
it's
like.
Okay,
everybody
we're
getting
a
lot
of
information
here,
but
no
one's
really
providing
input
the
same
way
they
were
before
we
join
this
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
listen
to
folks,
forbidden
committee
members
or
who
will
have
concerns,
and
so
anyone
have
anything
they
want
to
share.
I
I
have
a
concern
not
as
a
not
as
a
parent
but
as
someone
who's
an
organization,
that's
encouraging
family
to
do
more
inclusive,
affordable
options,
maybe
a
little
more.
I
A
I
Just
aren't
going
to
prepare
or
are
just
going
to
wait
or
they're
so
overwhelmed
that
they're,
not
picking
yeah.
We
see
a
lot
of
families
that
come
really
close
and
they're
ruled
and
they
just
kind
of
pull
up
the
drawbridge
and
they're
just
going
to
let
it
happen
so
I
don't
know
what
anyone
can
do
about
that.
We
can
still
just
try
to
educate
families.
I
will
say
that
the
Ark
in
Northern
Virginia
had
offered
for.
A
I
K
I
I
B
I
A
I
That
is
I
want
everyone
to
do
the
best
thing
for
themselves
and
there's
nothing.
I
can
do
about
that
personally,
but
I
am
starting
to
almost
feel
like
that's
a
trend,
and
that
is
a
one,
and
so
these
are
people
that
you're,
not
you
know,
they're
just
sharing
with
us
and
I
think
everyone
should
do
what
they
think,
but
I
don't
know
what
those
outcomes
I
really
have.
Someone
in
crisis.
J
G
You
know
babe,
you
can
move
away,
we
you
know
we,
we
will
support
the
individual,
because
you
know
we're
not.
We
are
supporting
the
family
in
a
sense
as
well,
and
so
we
have
a
number
of
Guardians
that
live
in
other
comes
a
problem
with
and
then
that
parent
moves
away
and
they
have
the
expectation
that
the
county
in
a
sense
is
becoming
the
parent
and
the
guardian,
and
we
can
provide
and
do
Provide
support
coordination.
G
But
we
are
not
legal
Guardians,
and
so,
when
that
parent,
you
know,
is
physically
moving
away
and
they're
just
stepping
away
from
their
role
and
responsibilities,
and
then
it
becomes
more
difficult.
That's
when
it
becomes
problem
day.
That's
not
the
norm,
but
I
would
agree
with
you.
We
are
seeing
that
trending
up
more
than
I
would
like
to
see
that.
I
R
I
S
S
I
know
Lucy
mentioned
that
there's
you
know
kind
of
care
caring
for
the
caretaker
thing
going
on
I'm
wondering
if
there's
also
just
I.
S
I
S
B
G
I
think
there's
you
know,
people
particularly
you
know.
I
might
be
biased,
but
here
in
Arlington,
County
I
think
because
we,
our
support
coordinators,
do
a
phenomenal
job,
supporting
the
individuals
that
I
can
appreciate
that
a
parent,
whether
that
parent
chooses
to
move
away.
You
know
that
parent
is
is
aging
themselves,
having
the
confidence
that
your
son
or
daughter
is
going
to
be
just
fine
in
Arlington
County.
You
know
when.
A
G
No
longer
here
and
and
I
personally
want
to
give
every
parent
the
Assurance
of
that
whether
you
choose
to
live
in
California
in
Minnesota
that
we
are
going
to
take
good
care
of
your
son
or
daughter.
We
want
you
know
we
need
the
guardian,
because
you
still
stay
involved
and
be
involved,
so
you're
not
isolating
that
person,
but
the
way
that
we
certainly
support
individuals.
G
Is
lacking
of
something
you
know
that's
going
to
be
out
in
the
street
or
homeless.
You
know,
you
know
the
development
of
personal
developmental
disability
and
so
whatever
the
resources
ultimately
it
takes.
But
that
should
not
be
your
plan
right.
You
know
that.
That's
the
difference
that
that
that
is
a
that
shouldn't
that
shouldn't
be
your
plan.
There
is
a
responsibility
in
planning
for
your
son
and
daughter
and
the
County
May
in
many
instances
to
be
a
safety
net,
but
that
safety
net
should
not.
A
G
I
H
Person
I
I
know
we
became
Guardians
when
we
created
a
will.
Actually
it
was
the
trust,
so
we
were
goaded
into
becoming
Guardians
for
our
kid
who
really
needed,
needs
Guardianship
and
that's
when
we
did
it.
So
you
know
I
can
imagine
if
you're
putting
off
doing
your
will.
Your
trust,
you're,
probably
also
going
to
be
putting
off
Guardianship
and
I,
just
want
to
encourage
people.
You
know
it's
not
a
good
idea.
To
put
it
off,
do
it,
you
can
always
change
it
right,
but
just
just
do
it
thanks.
I
G
I
would
also
add
in
part
because
this
is
being
recording,
so
if
this
is
helpful
to
somebody
that
may
not
be
watching
this
in
real
time
is
that
if
finances
are
a
reason
that
there's
a
barrier
in
terms
of
applying
for
guardianship,
there
are
some
instances
where
we
can
offer
assistance
in
filing
the
petition
under
the
department.
So
the
department
would
be
the
one
filing
the
position
on
behalf
of
the
individual.
There
are
income
requirements,
so
you
know
for
that.
So
we
can't
do
that
for
anyone.
G
You
know
just
you
know,
meeting
the
guardian,
but
certain
people
or
individuals
that
need
income
requirements.
We
do
ask
that
you
first
explore
in
those
instances
pre-legal
aid
services
or
Legal
Aid
Services
here
in
Arlington
County,
and
if
that
doesn't
work
for
you,
then
you
can
reach
out
to
the
support
coordinator
and
the
event
that
the
finances
is
a
barrier
for
twine.
That
is
something
nearly
what
you
might
be
able
to
assist.
P
Just
a
couple
of
things
for
us
to
consider
if
Sherry,
because,
if
you're
looking
at
numbers
of
people,
you
know
over
the
last
five
or
so
years
have
been
so
many
more
FIS
waivers
given
and
very
few
CL
waivers
and
I
think
we
need
to
consider
for
all
the
people
either
who
don't
have
voyagers
or
the
people
who
have
FIS
waivers
and
don't
therefore
qualify
for
group
homes
or
sponsored
residential,
where
they
need
to
have
more
help,
whether
they're,
in
an
apartment
or
in
their
own
home,
or
sharing
your
house
with
other
people.
P
When
there's
no,
when
when
aging
parents
die,
will
the
guardian
really
aging
parents
be
able
to
continue
to
juggle
all
of
this
when
the
aging
parent
goes
to
the
hospital
like
you
mentioned,
Sherry
or
dies,
or
whatever,
how
to
be
sure
that
those
numbers
of
people
how
to
plan
for
those
numbers
of
people
that
might
be
on
an
FIS
waiver
and
it
will
take
a
while
for
them
to
not
only
qualify
for
a
CL
waiver
but
but
I
heard,
Denise
or
Lavoy
say,
takes
four
to
six
weeks.
P
You
know
to
do
the
court
appointments
so
I
think
that
might
be
a
question
also
not
only
age
of
individuals
with
the
e-wavers,
but
also
the
kind
of
waiver
that
they
have,
because
if
they
don't
have
a
group
home
and
they're
not
already
placed
in
something
that's
got
some
wraparound
services
that
can
be
managed
when
their
Guardian
dies
in
the
replacement.
Guardian
comes
in.
That
would
be
another
question
of
who
will
be
the
backup
and
the
support.
P
Creator
coordinator
can
process
the
paperwork
but
they're
not
going
to
be
the
actual
on
hand,
I'll
back
up
and
then
I
had
a
question
for
Denise,
which
was
the
new
thing
this
year.
That
Guardians
must
visit
the
individual
three
times
per
year.
So
what
happens
then?
P
If,
if
individual,
you
know
they
have,
they
have
a
guardian
and
maybe
they're
living
in
a
place
like,
like
our
stomping
ground's,
one
of
those
more
integrated
housing
situations,
the
parent
moves
away,
and
this
question
may
not
be
for
Denise,
but
just
a
question
for
us
to
consider
about
what
happens
when
those
Guardians
move
away
and
then
how
do
what?
If
they
don't
visit
three
times
a
year,
what
happens
then
you.
P
R
P
They're
incapacitated
or
they
have
dementia,
and
maybe
they
didn't
change
the
guardianship
before
their
dementia
got
so
bad.
So
you
know
those
these
things
to
consider.
I
just
think
they're,
especially
with
this
push
to
integrate
people
into
more
more
more
more
are
less
restrictive
situations,
the
more
people
we
have
living
in
apartments
or
their
own
homes.
When
there's
not
the
parent
and
it
falls
to
the
The
Sibling
or
there's
no
sibling
right
and
then,
where
does
the
backup
come
when
the
80
year
old
mom
dies?
L
Say
in
terms
of
sorry,
my
cat
has
decided
that
she
wants
to
join
our
meeting
train
of
thought
there.
It
is
okay
in
terms
of
like
four
to
six
week
period.
It
tends
to
be
quicker
to
do
a
substitution,
because
in
a
lot
of
cases
the
court
sees
that
person's
already
been
deemed
incapacitated.
L
We
just
have
to
go
to
the
hearing
to
do
the
switch,
so
sometimes
that's
just
the
waiting
period
to
get
on
the
docket,
so
that
one
tends
to
not
be
quite
as
long
unless
somebody's
contesting
it
and
then
for
that
three
times
a
year
visitation
requirement.
It's
it.
There's
a
lot
of
room
for
extenuating
circumstances.
L
As
it's
written.
One
of
the
visits
has
to
be
by
the
guardian
in
person.
One
can
be
virtual
by
The
Guardian
and
then
oh,
no
I'm,
sorry
or
in
person
by
the
guardian
or
someone
authorized
by
the
guardian,
another
family
member,
someone
that
you
hire
a
case
manager,
something
like
that
that
files
a
report
with
the
guardian
or
it
can
be
virtual
and
then
the
third
can
also
be
virtual.
L
But
then
the
code
is
written
as
such
that
there
can
be
made
allowances
for
certain
situations
and
it's
very
individualized
and
there's
also
we've
gotten
no
guidance
on
what
exactly
happens
if
those
requirements
aren't
being
met
other
than
when
we
see
it
on
the
report
form
to
flag
it
for
the
court
and
go
from
there
as
something
else.
That's
new
I
wasn't
in
my
slides
because
I
didn't
think
about
it,
but
something
else.
That's
new
in
the
code
are
periodic
reviews
of
guardianships.
L
L
B
M
Hi
I'm
Joy
Haley,
with
Arlington
Public
Schools
I,
wanted
to
go
back
to
I,
think
livoy's
what
you
said
a
few
minutes
ago
just
to
get
some
clarification.
So
we,
you
know,
we
start
talking
with
our
families,
and
you
know
as
early
as
possible
about
you
know:
guardianship
process.
M
We,
you
know,
have
some
really
wonderful
presentations
that
were
given
by
The
Arc
that
talks
about
informed
decision
making
and
of
course
we
promote
all
of
that,
like
the
lunch
and
learns
and
all
of
the
events
that
they
have
where
family
can
learn
more,
but
we
I
still
find
that
we
end
up
with
a
lot
of
families
where
you
know
they
might
be
20,
21
years
old
or
maybe
even
getting
ready
to
exit,
and
they
still
really
haven't
started.
M
The
process,
sometimes
it
is
to
you
know,
has
to
do
with
financial,
so
the
voice
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
what
you
said
that
if
so
we
refer
families
to
Legal
Aid,
sometimes,
but
you
said
that
sometimes
they
could
maybe
get
assistance
through
their
support
coordinator.
Do
they
need
to
go
through
legal
aid
first
and
be
like
told
that
they
don't
qualify
to
then
come
to
DD
or
how
does
that
work?.
G
A
G
A
G
First
response,
so
they
need
to
rule
that
out
a
number
of
referrals
yourself.
I
know
we
get
usually
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year.
We
get
a
list,
you
know
from
individuals,
and
so
we
are
asking
and
requiring
that
that
be
ruled
out.
First.
M
Okay,
thank
you
and
then
I
just
have
another
question
so
each
year,
when
we
do
our
transition
Fair
for
Arlington,
we
generally
do
it.
November
December.
We
usually
try
to
invite
a
couple
of
local
attorneys
that
can
talk
with
families
about
the
guardianship
process
each
year
that
we've
done
this.
We
have
had
people
come
except
this
last
year.
M
None
of
the
attorneys
that
we
had
reached
out
to
were
able
to
come.
Do
you
do
you
have
like
a
recommended
list
or
a
list
that
you
give
your
families
that
maybe
we
could
send
out
to
our
families
at
APS.
I
M
A
L
M
You
so
much
I
was
just
thinking.
I've
had
the
list
that
might
be
easier
than
because
you
know
we
send
out
lots
of
presentations
and
I
think
sometimes
parents
that
might
be
you
know
they
might
have
a
hard
time
going
through
finding
like
the
specific
information
that
they're
looking
for
all
right,
I'm
gonna
put
my
email
in
the
chat.
Thank
you.
Okay,
I.
G
B
B
E
I,
just
am
trying
to
get
a
better
sense
of
what
the
County's
role
is
in
pursuing
or
supporting,
or
trying
to
find
Guardians
for
clients
who
are
on
our
caseload,
who
are
clearly
incapacitated
and
need
one
and
don't
have
one
or
don't
have
an
authorized
representative,
maybe
for
services,
I
guess
I've
always
been
worried
about
people
who
end
up
sort
of
being
orphaned
in
the
system
kind
of,
like
you
know,
an
aging
parent
dies
and
the
person's
already
living
in
a
group
home,
but
there's
really
no
obvious
person
to
step
forward
or
no
one's
been
designated
to
replace
the
guardian
or
the
parents.
E
G
So
I
can't
I
can
answer
and
tell
you
what
development
and
services
does
for
individuals
with
with
disabilities,
and
this
is
not
speaking
on
where
in
terms
of
our
county
attorney's
office,
because
it's
not
it's
neither
their
role
nor
response
ability
in
that
respect.
But
again
to
the
point
that
I
made
earlier.
Our
support
coordinators
are
routinely
assessing
for
individuals,
meeting
Guardians
and
that's
whether
they
are
receiving
you
know
for.
A
G
Those
that
are
known
to
us
active
support,
coordination
and
those
that
are
receiving
monitoring,
support
coordination
as
well,
and
then,
if
assistance
is
needed,
that's
something
that
we
also
explore
as
well.
It
again
it
doesn't.
You
know,
I've
been
in
my
role,
Carol
for
eight
years
and
I
can't
I
can
probably
think
of
one
instance
where
you
know
some:
a
parent
passed
away
in
that
situation,
where
the
individual
didn't
have
a
guardian
and
we
were
able
to
identify
I
think
some
distant
cousin
that
lived
somewhere
in
Florida.
But
we.
G
That
individual,
that
that.
G
In
terms
of
seeking
guardianship
with
that
in
that
particular
person,
and
but
in
that
case,
if
that
person
is
already
in
oh.
B
G
G
Have
authorized
reps.
That
is
something
that
that
needs.
You
know
our
needs
if
you
know
as
well.
We
certainly
recommend
people
having
I
would
say
that
that's
the
majority
of
people
do
have
a
legal
guardian
that
are
in
in
group
homes,
but
there
are
a
handful
that
very.
A
G
L
I
can
also
speak
a
little
bit
on
that.
So
when
the
situation
arises,
let's
say
the
guardian
is
passed
away,
no
longer
able
to
serve
the
support
coordinators
can
reach
out
to
me.
We
have
our
volunteer
program,
which
is
made
up.
It's
got
practicing
attorneys.
We
also
have
community
members
and
we
work
to
kind
of
match
the
client
with
somebody
who
meets
their
needs.
L
They
think
that,
like
you
know,
they
would
just
mesh
with
personality
wise
or
finding
an
attorney
if
that's
what's
required,
but
we
also
recommend,
depending
on
wait
list
going
ahead
and
getting
that
person
on
the
waitlist
for
public
guardianship,
just
so
all
of
the
bases
are
covered,
and
then,
whichever
one
comes
up
first
great
we've
got
it
taken
care
of,
but
I
can
think
of
an
instance
where
that
that
has
been
the
case
and
the
coordinator
worked
with
me
and
we
were
able
to
identify
a
guardian
and
get
them
substituted
and.
G
I
say
that,
as
you
know,
as
in
my
role
here,
but
also
as
a
parent
of
a
son
with
a
developmental
disability
as
well,
that
that's
just
not
a
responsibility
that
you
want
to
put
elsewhere,
nor
a
burden
that
you
want
to
pronounce
there
as
well,
because
that's
a
huge
responsibility
for
us
of
having
you
know.
If
that
happens,
when
someone
passes
away
suddenly
to
have
to
be
the
ones
to
make
those
decisions
for
someone's
life.
A
G
O
G
Needs
it
because
you
don't
want
to
go
to
court
and
remove
someone's
legal
rights
if
that's
not
indicated
so
I'm,
not
saying
that
every
person
with
a
developmental
disability
needs
one,
but
some
people.
It's
quite
obvious,
and
you
know
apparent
that
this
person
needs
a
guardian
and
and
and
and
we're
not
saying
that
you
have
to
be
that
Guardian,
but
at
least
exploring
and
having
those
conversations
with
your
support
coordinators.
Because.
A
G
G
We
lasted
I
was
hoping
she
could
come
tonight,
but
I'll
be
available
next
week,
so
he
had
filled
our
employment
habilitation
Transportation
contracts.
Management
may
recall
that
Elizabeth
Cannon,
who
was
previously
in
that
role,
resigned
that
position
in
October
of
last
year,
and
so
we
have
built
that
with
the
new
person,
her
name
is
Melissa
jesterone.
G
She
comes
with
a
great
deal
of
contracts,
experience
working
for
the
City
of
New
York,
and
it's
been
on
board
getting
back
the
native
for
about
a
lot
she
made
on
one
month
yesterday,
yeah
she's,
doing
great.
J
G
Or
it's
only
way
for
as
well
for
limited
number
of
hours
each
week,
so
that
is
an
awesome
process.
Thank
You.
A
G
Gracefully
for
supporting
that
and
agreeing
to
that,
we
also
are
close
to
getting
the
CEO
the
certificate
of
occupancy
for.
A
G
Employment
Readiness
it
was,
we
were
supposed
to
have
a
temporary
certificate
of
occupancy
last
Friday
and
this
event
may
have
happened.
I
have
to
double
check
on
that,
but
we're
pretty
close
to
getting
that
finalized
on
the
space
for
the
most
part
is
done.
There's
some.
You
know
a
few
wiring
of
things
for
computers
and
things
like
that
and
phone
lines
that
we're
still
working
on
doing,
but
otherwise
the
space
is
pretty
much
ready
and
getting
close
to
completion.
G
We
are
nearing
the
end
of
the
the
he
says,
hopefully
for
selecting
a
provider
we're
still
in
negotiations.
G
Has
been
gained,
not
one
provider
but
hoping
that'll,
be
in
the
next
three
to
four
weeks
having
it
finalized
Irving
Street
is
pretty
much
close
to
finish.
Completion
as
well
I
get
a
final
walk-through
last
Friday
of
the
the
punch
list
and
some
last
minute
items,
so
just
some
minor
things
that
the
Builder
is
working
on
on
finishing
up
and
we're
nearing
the
the
end
process.
Likewise,
with
the
rip
processes
affecting
a
provider
for
operating
that
particular
home.
A
R
A
G
A
G
As
well,
we
are
planning
an
open
house
sort
of
a
two-tiered
opening
house
because
it'll
be
the
same
day,
but
given
the
number
of
people
that
are
interested
and
that
we
want
to
have
at
the
Grand,
Opening
will
have
sort
of
celebrations
later
I.
Think
late
in
September.
We're
looking
at
looking
at
and
send
out
information
about
that
and
it'll
be
opportunity
to
do.
Chores
of
the
home
before
residence
will
be
in
once.
People
move
in
it's.
G
S
Yeah,
a
quick
question:
I,
don't
know
if
this
was
covered.
I
may
missed
it,
but
was
there
ever
because
I
know
there
was
a
whole
thing
with
the
the
nurse
on
staff,
the
nurse
with
Urban
history,
or
that
was
that
ever
figured
out.
We.
G
S
G
A
C
No,
no,
the
voice,
I
think
you
covered
everything.
I
did
have
to
step
away
and
then
I
came
back.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
there
was
mention
of
Melissa
I.
G
G
B
Okay
and
I'm,
just
I'm
just
I'm,
very
quick,
also
we
are
not
meeting
next
month.
August
I
did
send
out
an
update
and
said
that
our
next
meeting
is
Labor
day.
But
it's
not
it's
on.
Thank
you!
Moira!
It's
on
Tuesday,
September
5th
from
46..
It
won't
be
a
hybrid
Maybe
and
I
guess.
B
Bertra
The
Voice,
my
moon
and
I
will
discuss
the
agenda
for
that.
If
you
have
any
suggestions,
let
us
know
as
a
follow-up
to
Carol
skelly's
public
comment.
Last
month,
The
Voice
Carol
asked
some
questions
about
the
CIP
input
process.
Can
you
can
you.
G
Is
Jim
on
the
call
I,
don't
know
that
I'm
best
with
CIP
I?
Don't
have
those
questions
in
front
of
me
and
Carol?
If
you
have
the
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them,
but
if
it's
about
the
CIP
process
specifically
prepare
my
mood,
I
might
do
better
answering
CIP
questions.
B
B
Before
that,
because
it
was
sent
to
all
of
us
yeah
yeah
I
know,
I
have
an
impact,
and
in
the
meantime,
while
the
voice
has
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
after
questions,
are
there
any
updates
from
our
provider.
J
Yeah
I
can
just
let
you
know
that
Arlington
weaves
will
be
at
the
Arlington
County
Fair.
So
please
stop
by
our
booth
and
check
us
out.
Thank
you.
B
N
Really,
no
updates
just
trying
to
get
everybody
back
into
day
programming
getting
our
numbers
up.
That's
it.
B
So
you
have
current
vacancies
for
the
upcoming
fall.
Yes,
ma'am
right!
Is
there
any
any
of
the
Day
program
providers
who
do
not
have
vacancies
right
now.
B
Providers,
so
did
you
hear
that
Lynn
has
a
question
of
the
providers
of
whether
or
not
you're
able
to
if
you
whether.
A
N
As
far
as
Melwood
is
concerned,
really
no
no
staffing
issues.
I
had
someone
resign
probably
about
three
months
ago,
but
I
am
in
the
process
of
filling
that
position.
The
person
has
to
come
out
and
do
the
written
piece
for
the
interview
and
we
will
be
back
up
to
having
six
specialists
so
that
when
we
do
get
our
numbers
back
up,
we
will
have
Staffing
staff
available.
A
E
The
voice
note,
these
questions
are
about
the
permanent
capacity
that's
being
planned
and
is
supposed
to
be
on
track
to
be
proposed
in
the
CIP
next
year
in
May,
I
mean
presumably
that
planning
process
is
going
on
now,
but
very
little
information
has
been
shared
with
the
committee
and
it's
a
you
know
this.
It's
a
big
deal.
It's
it's
one
of
the
most
I
think
important
things.
E
You
know
now
that
now
that
Irving
Street
is
opening
and
the
other
programs
are
being
in
place.
This
really
is
the
the
piece
that
was
supposed
to
support
growth
and
day
programs
over
a
five-year
Horizon.
So
the
questions
all
really
relate
to
that.
J
G
G
Yeah
I
think
in
general,
we
are
looking
to
have
more
program
flexibility
in
terms
of
people
being
able
to
attend
kind
of
a
hybrid
approach,
if
you
will,
if
they
supported
employment
of
Moody
in
that
direction.
That
being
said,
it
is
ultimately
the
providers
determination
in
terms
of
their
capacity
of
being
able
to
do
that.
It
is
something,
though,
that,
where
what.
A
G
Looking
at,
as
far
as
what.
A
G
Would
be
asking
for
is,
is
that
flexibility
is
having
programs
that
are
designed
and
structured
to
be
able
to
support
people
if
they
so
choose
to
do
a
combination
of
employment
and
hybrid.
It
is
certainly
a
model
that
we
would
be
requesting
and
and
and
pursuing
in
that
respect.
That
being
said,
you
know,
if
that's
not
a
model,
that
a
provider
feels
that
they
can
support.
That
might
be
a
reason
that
they,
you
know
right.
G
So
we
can't
force
someone
to
do
that,
just
because
that's
a
direction
that
we
are
looking
to
go
in,
and
that
also
depends
with
more
tradition
that
they
support
I,
don't
perceive
that
as
being
barrier
here.
G
We
have
rejections
for
our
students
that
are
aging
out
for
services
for
the
next
five
years
and
you
know,
can
look
Beyond
we're
working
on
data,
knowing
what
the
number
of
people
into
things
that
are
aging
out
over
the
next
five
years
for
services
and
anticipating
expansion
of
gay
support
and
employment
services,
because
we
know
that
we
are
seeing
a
higher
trend
on
Mario,
wider
or
larger
trend
of
individuals
that
are
also
going
into
employment
and
that
yes,
they
support.
G
And
then
we
are
also
looking
at
the
capacity
of
people
that
are
in
programs
outside
of
the
county
that
are
looking
to
return
shortly.
Before
Elizabeth
left.
Also,
we
were
doing
some
cold
calling
of
calling
reaching
out
to
families
that
were
had
individuals
supported
in
programs
outside
of
the
county
to
gauge
interest
in
the
event
of
developing
more
programs
in
the
county.
Would
they
be
interested
in
coming
back
to
a
program
and
so
with
Melissa
being
on
board
we're
hoping
to
resume
being
able
to
to.
G
Calls
of
having
the
the
the
Staffing
to
be
able
to
reach
out
to
families
so.
F
A
G
Individuals
that
are
currently
attending
paid
programs
that
are
upon
retiring
from
from
day
programs
and
that
are
choosing
to
to
not
do
to
have
different
plans
and
activities
for
their
meaningful
day.
Other
than
Day
program
as
well
are
things
that
we
are
taking
into
consideration
in
terms
of
the
capacity
of
future
growth
and
factors
being
considered
in
identifying
a
location
for
the
new
program.
We
are
widely
largely
focused
on
looking
at
existing
at
this
time.
Existing
counting
space,
as
that
is
going
to
be
the
most
cost
efficient,
freaking
way
back.
C
No,
no,
we
are
looking
forward
to
really
building
capacity
and
the
voice
and
her
team
has
done
an
amazing
job
with
looking
at
The
Five-Year
Plan
and
where
excited
about
our
employment
Readiness
program
as
she
mentioned.
That
is
coming
online
soon,
as
well
as
the
urban
street.
But
we
know
that
the
trajectory
will
build
capacity,
but
it's
quite
a
process
and
we
recently
met
with
our
DHS
director,
who
gave
us
guidance,
Anita
Freeman.
C
So
it's
really
a
preliminary
stage,
but
as
the
voice
mentioned
on
site
leasing,
space
from
Arlington
County
is
going
to
be
more
feasible
for
us
rather
than
having
a
build
out.
So
we'll
look
forward
to
keeping
you
updated.
