When a person becomes unable to care for themselves, family and friends often help to provide the care they need.
But what happens when that person doesn’t have any family or other support network? Who steps in to help with doing the day-to-day things that we too often take for granted?
That’s where the Canyon County Board of Guardians comes into play. These volunteers often work behind the scenes, making sure their clients have a place to live, medical care and that their bills are paid each month.
Jayne Josephsen is one of those guardians and she joined Idaho Matters to tell us about the program.
