The JFS Personal Affairs Management (PAM) program was created to prevent the exploitation of elderly and vulnerable adults in our community. Too often, persons deemed “incapacitated” by the courts were exploited or abused, or simply neglected and left to die. JFS’ Personal Affairs Management Program prevents this from happening, and provides a safety net for the most vulnerable adults in our communities.

Covering the entire Commonwealth of Virginia, the PAM program provides court-appointed guardian and conservator services to adults (18 and older) who have been found to be physically, cognitively, and/or mentally incapacitated by the Circuit Court.

The PAM program is recognized as a Model Program by the Governor’s Advisory Council on Aging and is approved as a Public Guardian by the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services.
