Johnson County VASIA
VASIA's mission is to provide public guardianship services to seniors and incapacitated adults. VASIA consists of a team of volunteer advocates who help seniors and incapacitated adults in the Johnson & Shelby County areas achieve the highest degree of independence possible, while also assisting them with maintaining the greatest degree of health, comfort and safety.
​
VASIA serves adults over the age of 18 years old. Those served are diagnosed by a physician as being mentally or medically incapacitated. The adult is also without a willing, able or suitable relative or significant person to serve as guardian. A county judge rules that the person needs guardianship and then assigns VASIA. To be eligible for VASIA services, the adult must reside in Johnson or Shelby County and live in a residential facility.
Anyone can submit a referral to our public guardianship program. To complete a referral, please visit our website at www.indianavasia.org.
