Requirements for serving elderly victims of abuse, neglect and exploitation can be found in s. 430.205 (5)(a), F.S.

Adult Protective Services. If you are an adult with a developmental disability, a Court may order a County Board of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities to provide protective services if you are being abused and/or neglected. However, you must lack the capacity to make decisions to protect yourself. Protection Orders (TRO): You may ask a Court to order an individual who is hurting you, or threatening to hurt you, to stay away from you. Guardianship Options You do not automatically require a guardian because you have a mental or physical disability. Since guardianship involves the loss of fundamental rights, it should be considered only when a person cannot make informed decisions on their own or when accommodated or supported in their decision making. All adults are presumed competent to make choices about their lives. Sometimes, because of limited cognitive or communication skills, a person may need help making decisions, and an advocate or guardian may be beneficial. If you do not have the capacity to make decisions for yourself, and are adjudged to be incapacitated, a guardian will be appointed to make decisions for you. The court must be satisfied that your disability will result in serious physical injury, illness, or disease if guardianship is not granted. Limited Guardianship*: If you are incompetent in a limited area, you will be placed under a limited guardianship. For instance, if you do not have the capacity to understand the implications of your health care decisions, the court may appoint a guardian for medical purposes only. The guardian would then make all of your health care decisions, including which doctor to see, which treatments to follow, and whether or not to accept life-sustaining treatment. Limited guardianships may also be appointed for: placement, medication, behavior plans, and paying bills Plenary or Full Guardianship*: If you are under a full guardianship, your guardian will make all of your personal and financial decisions for you. A Plenary or “Full” Guardianship creates a substitute decision-maker who makes decisions for you which may include, but is not limited to, the following: where to live whether or not to marry whether or not to work how to spend income who to associate with whether or not to seek medical care whether or not to vote whether or not to enter into a contract *For more detailed information, see Missouri Revised Statutes, Chapter 475, Probate Code –Guardianship xxxx://xxx.xxxx.xx.xxx/STATUTES/C475.HTM IM...
