GT Independence
Live Life On Your Terms
Self-directed care means you decide who supports your long-term care and how those services are delivered.
No matter what you call it, it’s all about choice.
Self-direction has many different names, but they all mean the same thing: you choose who provides your long-term care and how you’d like to receive it. GT Independence is here to help you live the life you choose. We’ll help you get set up to hire in-home or community-based caregivers and then take care of the taxes and paperwork for you.
