Our Guardians and Conservators:

• As guardian, make decisions with the individual’s best interest in mind and include the individual at the center of the decision-making to ensure the appropriate provisions are made for their care, comfort, and needs.
•  As conservator, carefully monitor and manage the individual’s finances to include real estate and homestead affairs, checking & savings accounts, as well as any investments.

Resource Training and Solutions supports and promotes Minnesota’s Olmstead Plan. In providing Guardianship and Conservatorship services, Resource Training and Solutions will promote the Olmstead Plan core principles to assure individuals:

• Live close to their family and friends
• Live more independently

• Participate in community life

Individuals under Guardianship and Conservatorship retain the right to make supported decisions about their life and the opportunity to contribute to their community. A person-centered approach is at the heart of our Guardianship and Conservatorship services. Each of our Guardian and Conservators receive high-quality, person-centered training to ensure the individuals we serve are able to live the fullest life possible.

Working Collaboratively

Our staff treats all professionals and service providers with respect and courtesy to enhance the working relationship between the provider, person and the guardian/conservator to provide the most benefit to the individual.

In addition to providing Guardianship and Conservatorship services, our team works with Counties to ensure best practices are met and high-quality services are delivered to those served.
