How frequently is a guardian expected to visit the ward?

The expectation for how frequently a guardian should visit their ward is generally established as once a month. This frequency allows the guardian to effectively monitor the ward’s well-being, needs, and changes in circumstances, ensuring that they are providing appropriate support and care. Monthly visits strike a balance between restlessness for the ward and the need for the guardian to stay informed about any changes that may warrant immediate attention.

While more frequent visits might seem beneficial, they could also be burdensome for both the guardian and the ward, potentially disrupting the ward's routine. Conversely, less frequent visits, such as once every three months, may not provide enough oversight to ensure the ward’s needs are being met consistently, which can result in neglect or oversight of important developments. This monthly schedule aligns with best practices in guardianship, ensuring a continuous support system while allowing for adequate documentation and assessment of the ward’s condition.
