According to the Centers for Disease Control, Standard Precautions are the minimum infection prevention practices that apply to all patient care, regardless of suspected or confirmed infection status of the patient, in any setting where health care is delivered. These practices are designed to both protect the people providing care, and prevent the spread of infection.
There are some situations where due to the effects of aging, disease, or injury, people need help managing some of or all of their daily affairs.
Guardianship provides a way to offer that support needed. Guardianship is established by a court of law between the person who needs help (also referred to as a “ward”) and the person or entity (also referred to as a “guardian”) named by the court to help the individual under guardianship.
This training course is designed to provide new guardianship staff with an introduction and broad overview of the Kentucky Guardianship Program.
