Achieva Resources' Volunteer advocates for seniors and Incapacitated adults programWhom We Serve
The Volunteer Advocates for Seniors (VAS) and Incapacitated Adults Program provides volunteers that visit elderly, mentally ill, and intellectual/developmentally disabled individuals. The at-risk individuals served by Achieva Resources are 18 years and older and live in nursing homes, group homes, and supported living homes in Wayne, Union, Randolph, Henry, Franklin and Fayette Counties. How We Serve
Achieva Resources advocates for seniors and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We provide guardianship services to individuals who are not able to make medical or advocacy decisions for themselves. Many clients just need a friend. That is how the VAS Program helps. Achieva Resources has been able to help over 100 individuals in need of medical, advocacy, health and safety services, and guardianships. Volunteer Training
Prior to beginning training, volunteers in the VAS Program are required to complete an application process that includes three written references; authorizations for release of criminal, driving, and social services histories; and participate in a personal screening interview with the program coordinator. Achieva Resources also coaches and visits with the volunteer for the first few visits. History
The VAS Program began in 2013 as an effort to address the health care and social services needs for the ever increasing population of seniors and intellectually/developmentally disabled individuals living in Wayne, Union, and Fayette Counties. In 2016, Franklin, Henry and Randolph counties were added to this program. Community Benefit of Reid Health Awards Guardianship Program Grant |

AWS' mission is to help children and adults with enduring intellectual, developmental and physical disabilities live as independently as possible, be included in the community and function at their highest potential. Thank You United Way – Whitewater ValleyAchieva Resources would like to thank the United Way-Whitewater Valley for their generous $40,000 grant for the EXCEL program and $17,000 grant for the Guardianship program.
EXCEL (Early eXperiences in Childhood Education and Learning) provides developmental screenings for children birth to five using a tool known as the ASQ (Ages and Stages Questionnaire) to determine if a child has any developmental delay or disability that would hamper them in being prepared for kindergarten. This service is offered in Wayne and Union counties. The Guardianship program provides advocates for seniors and adults that are incapable of representing or protecting their own best interest in Wayne, Franklin, Fayette, Union, Henry and Randolph counties. Achieva Resources has been able to help over 100 individuals in need of medical, advocacy, health and safety services, and guardianships. |
