About Us
Guardian Support Services, Inc. (GSS) was established in 2006 to serve the Stark County Probate Court and its public as a center for resources available for the care of elderly indigent, incompetent citizens of Stark County and to address the growing need to provide caring and capable guardians to our indigent and elderly.
Because of the number of incompetent, indigent elderly individuals living in Stark County who do not have family or supportive others to be qualified as a guardian, GSS will provide a system of information and referrals wherby guardians can be identified, appointed, and trained to meet the needs of these vulnerable people.
The GSS mission statement is as follows:
"Due to the growing needs of the elderly and disabled in the community, the purpose and mission of this corporation is to assist with the provision and/or coordination of guardianship and case management services for those indigent persons subjected to or in need of a guardianship."
GSS will establish and maintain a good working relationship with all organizations available to the client population so that GSS may provide information and referral services both for the community and any individuals considering guardianship.
We will act as a referral service to hospitals and nursing homes to provide guardian services. Please feel free to contact GSS with any questions or needs at 330-437-3720. We look forward to assisting you.
