Mission, Vision, and Values | Indiana Guardianship Services, Inc.

Our Mission and Vision

Indiana Guardianship Services, Inc. (herein "IGS") aims to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation of incapacitated adults through quality, person-centered advocacy, and guardianship services. We strive to provide conscious and compassionate guardianship services to vulnerable adults regardless of financial situation.

We envision a community where older adults and individuals with disabilities are respected as whole people, their voices are heard, and guardianship is used responsibly, transparently, and only to the extent necessary to support their well-being and rights.

Values

Dignity

We believe every individual deserves respect, compassion, and recognition of their inherent worth, regardless of ability, age, or circumstance.

Autonomy

We support each person’s right to self-determination and decision-making to the greatest extent possible, honoring preferences, history, and personal values.

Least Restrictive Care

We are committed to using the least restrictive alternatives available and tailoring guardianship involvement to support independence and meaningful choice whenever possible.

Advocacy

We serve as a consistent and informed voice for individuals who cannot fully advocate for themselves, ensuring their needs and interests remain central to every decision.

Integrity

We uphold ethical guardianship practices through transparency, accountability, professional standards, and court oversight.
