Adult Guardianship Services of Summit County - Ohio

05/12/2026

We recently lost a beloved member of our volunteer guardian family, a quiet, steady, and deeply compassionate man who embodied everything a guardian is meant to be.

He showed up month after month, year after year, for a ward who had no one else. He sat with this individual, advocated for him, and made sure he was never truly alone in this world.

That is the gift of a volunteer guardian. And he gave it generously, without fanfare, without recognition — simply because it was the right thing to do.

To his family — thank you for sharing him with us and with the vulnerable adult who was so fortunate to have him in their corner. The love and steadiness he brought to this work is a reflection of the person you knew and loved every day. We are so grateful.

Rest easy, guardian. Your ward was lucky to have you.

AGS is proud to be the subject of the award-winning video created by Catherine Bosley, CJB Productions, and One Frame Media. Congratulations and thank you! 🎉

It happened! I’m beyond excited to announce the first major award for CJB Productions, LLC! A Communicator Awards! Founded in 2017, my dream business has grown into more than I ever imagined (and sometimes more than I can keep up with!). None of this would be possible without my loyal, rockstar clients and my amazing partners. This award honors a project I produced with one of those partners—the incredibly talented Matt Pallotta of Frame One Media —showcasing the beautiful work of Adult Guardianship Services of Summit County - Ohio .

It's worth a watch because it's an organization that any of us could end up needing: https://lnkd.in/eu8ACyPm

A special thank you to Laura Villwock and Carla Bayonnet.

Our Community Can Make a Difference — One Visit at a Time!

We have a very special gentleman in the Barberton area who is looking for his person and we think he might be out there in our amazing Summit County community! 💛

He lives in a local nursing home, has a gentle spirit, and is as kind as they come. He loves tacos and enjoys a cigarette to pass the time — simple pleasures that remind him he is seen, valued, and not forgotten.

That is where YOU come in.

As an AGS Volunteer Guardian, you would visit him just once a month and in return, you would gain one of the most meaningful relationships of your life. No special skills required. Just a warm heart and a willingness to show up.

AGS provides all training, legal support, and professional backup, you are never alone in this role.

If you or someone you know might be his person, we would love to hear from you.

To everyone who has already stepped up to serve as a volunteer guardian in our community — thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Because of people like you, no one has to face life alone.
