OUR services
& benefits
Guardian is a "Consumer Directed" model of care. As
the consumer you decide, what you want or need as your hours of assistance.
CONSUMER-DIRECTED
CARE
Consumer-Directed Care is a philosophical orientation that emphasizes the ability of people with disabilities to
assess their own needs and make choices about what services would best meet their needs. It also reflects a view
that consumers can and should have options to choose the personnel who provide their care and to self manage over
the delivery and self-monitor the quality of such care. |

AGENCY-DIRECTED
CARE
Agency-directed care evolved principally out of the government funded programs that pay agencies to function as
the provider of record of caregiver services. In these arrangements, the agency recruit, a hire, trains, supervises
disciplines and terminates caregivers, and the agency sets the rates it charges patients and the wages it pays
its caregivers. The agency develops or participates in developing a patient's plan of care, and selects which caregiver
it will assign to render service to the patient. A patient's point of contact concerning the care is the agency. |
