LMA Guardianship and Charitable Services

Our goal for LMA Guardianship and Charitable Services is to assist individuals with guardianship, fiduciary and daily money management services. Based on each individuals asset level and ability to pay for these services. Our mission is to help them with the cost, making it possible for them to have the greatest level of assistance available. LMA strives to allow individuals to age in the comfort and familiar surroundings of their own homes while maintaining dignity and control all while ensuring a safe environment from financial, physical and psychological standpoints.

Please call our main office for further information or to obtain an application for the program. All recipients must apply for acceptance into the program. In order to be considered for financial assistance, financial disclosures must be made and acceptance will be based on financial need, analysis showing that the services provided are appropriate for the individual and expectations for success in the program.
