Abstract

<p>This study discusses the tasks of the adult guardianship system for people with intellectual disabilities at a group home from the perspective of their support provider. A qualitative analysis of field notes of a study meeting held by the support provider revealed the following. The support provider debated whether to use a professional guardian due to the limitations that residents experience when using a family guardian. In cases where residents used a professional guardian, the support provider adjusted the stakeholder’s relationship, had anxiety about the professional guardian, and questioned the category of the guardian. The support provider considered it especially important to adjust the way each resident spent their money on support staff and guardianship. The support provider needed to review the adult guardianship system to ensure guardians did not just make financial arrangements but also advocated for people with intellectual disabilities by creating an advocate network within the community. Finally, professional guardians and residents should participate in service utilization and individual support plans, and a system where stakeholders could make common decisions was suggested.</p>
