GT INDEPENDENCE

Built by a family, for families. Our company has roots like any other. We started from one family’s question: Why? The Carmichael family looked at traditional care facilities for their son (and brother). They came away with questions: Why can’t people with disabilities live the lives they choose? Why can’t they stay in their own homes and communities? This question turned into an idea. And this idea became a mission. The mission grew, branching out into a company GT Independence that serves tens of thousands of people across the United States. Run by people with disabilities. For people with disabilities. Today, GT is filled with people of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities. We work together to serve the people in our communities. We are what is called a financial management service (FMS) company. Every day, we help to manage the paperwork and the details that let people self-direct their care and support. But we don’t stop there. At GT, our goal is for every person to have the choice to self-direct. We are advocates for you, and for all of us.

GT Independence Helps You Live the Life You Choose, Regardless of Age or Ability. With self-direction, you have the right to live the life you choose regardless of age or ability in your own home or community. At GT Independence, our job is to help make self-direction easy. By using a financial management service (FMS) like GT, you select and hire caregivers you trust. In some states, this can include family and friends. As your FMS, we handle payroll and tax withholding for the caregivers you hire. And often, you save money when compared to other care options.
