What is the minimum frequency for monitoring visits recommended by the NGA?

The minimum frequency for monitoring visits recommended by the National Guardianship Association (NGA) is once a month. This recommendation is designed to ensure that individuals under guardianship receive regular assessments of their well-being and the effectiveness of their guardianship arrangement. Monthly visits allow guardians to stay informed about the physical, emotional, and financial condition of the individual they are responsible for, facilitating timely interventions when necessary.

Regular monitoring is crucial in guardianship to ensure that the rights and needs of the individual are being respected and met. Monthly visits provide an opportunity to address any changes in the individual's condition or circumstances, offering insights that may not be apparent through less frequent interactions. This practice promotes a proactive approach to safeguarding the welfare of those under guardianship, aligning with the NGA's commitment to high standards in guardianship practices.
