Kinship care is defined as the full-time care, nurturing, and. protection of a child by relatives, as set forth in Â§ 63.2-100 of the Code of Virginia. However, in Virginia the definition of relative varies from program to program. The. way relative is defined, for purposes of kinship care, is important because it. influences placement, access to information, and eligibility for program benefits.
A guardianship is a probate court appointment of guardian to make decisions for an. adult who has lost sufficient capacity to make or communicate significant responsible. decisions concerning his or her health or safety. The power of a guardian over the. person of his ward is like that of the parent over his child, but only to the extent. necessary for the adultâs actual limitations and in the least restrictive manner possible. while observing that adultâs individual rights and dignity.
