The Office of the Public Guardian Multi-Disciplinary Team and Collaborative Approach is a result of the Department of Aging and Adult Services – Public Guardian (DAAS-PG) Office of the Public Guardian recognizing the essential need for all San Bernardino County staff and community partners involved in conservatorship to be part of the conversation and development of care plans that protect conservatized individuals. This method maximizes the resources, knowledge, and perspective that each stakeholder brings to the table and ensures the most appropriate care is provided for individuals referred to the Office of the Public Guardian for conservatorship and probate services. This comprehensive meeting serves as a mechanism that demonstrates that, from an interdisciplinary perspective, conservatorship is the last resort and identifies the most suitable line of services for the client.
