Board of Community Guardians Purpose:

The purpose of the Board is to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a Guardian for Twin Falls County residents in need, as set forth by Idaho Law, and within the confines of any County Resolution or Ordinance. The Board also acts as an administrative body that assists in recruiting, training, and monitoring the activities of Volunteer Companions.

The Board of Community Guardians provides assistance to adult citizens who are no longer able to care for themselves. Wards under our guardianship cannot make or communicate responsible decisions, or provide for basic needs such as food, clothing, health care and safety. Our role is to ensure these vulnerable adults are protected from exploitation, abuse and neglect. 

Volunteer Companions Purpose:

The purpose of the Volunteer Companion is to visit a designated ward on a regular basis, monitor the wards’ situation, and ensure each ward is receiving benefits and care that they are entitled to receive to meet their needs.

Being a Volunteer Companion is incredibly rewarding and a wonderful way to give back to your community. As a volunteer, you will act as a second set of eyes and ears for the Board of Community Guardians. You are not the care provider or guardian, but the time you spend with a ward helps us monitor their situation and ensure they are receiving the benefits and care they are entitled to and need.
