Who We Are
We are volunteers who have hearts for Stark County’s most vulnerable adult and senior citizens. Our mission is to stop Elder and Disabled Adult abuse in Stark County. We do this by providing the court with up-to-date information about the wards, and verifying that each individual is properly cared for. Fortunately, 95% of wards are well cared for. However, there are a few cases where their situations are less than satisfactory. In those cases, we report back to the court where the Judge will intervene and implement changes. Without these visits, the court might not become aware of these issues until it is too late.
What We Do
The Court Angels program works with the Probate Court to help prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation experienced by seniors and disabled adults under guardianship (wards) in Stark County. We do this by conducting annual in-person visits with the wards, where we aim to provide companionship and ensure that the wards are receiving appropriate care from their guardians. Visits last about an hour and Volunteers can choose where and when they want to conduct the visits. With over 2,200 wards in Stark County, you can make an immediate impact in YOUR community.
