How Austin families actually use this
Family Eldercare at 512-483-3580 provides guardianship, money management, in-home counselling and service coordination for Austin-area seniors and adults with disabilities. It has operated in this metro for decades.
Money management and guardianship are very different interventions. Bill-paying assistance is voluntary and preserves autonomy; guardianship is a court process that removes legal decision-making authority and should be a last resort after less restrictive alternatives have been considered.
If you suspect financial exploitation rather than simple difficulty managing money, report to Adult Protective Services at 1-800-252-5400 as well. Exploitation of older adults frequently involves someone the family already knows.
