Guardianship Services, Inc.   (GSI)   is in the business of making prudent decisions for people who can no longer  formulate or communicate decisions for themselves. Through GSI's Guardianship Program, case managers and volunteers obtain community services, health treatment, housing, and benefits, thus enabling these clients to function as normally as possible, considering their limitations. The Money Management Program is a less restrictive alternative to guardianship. This program's case managers and volunteers monitor the financial affairs of  the clients, making sure that all limited resources are strictly utilized for their benefit.

The entire staff of GSI takes its responsibilities seriously. Our goal is to provide clients with as much autonomy as possible while protecting them from mistreatment or neglect. This is a delicate balancing act.

GSI serves as a last resort. All other alternatives have been tried. No friends or family members are available or suitable to assist these clients. Our involvement takes a client from a world of loneliness, despair, illness, and exploitation to a world of hope.

Thanks to a generous contribution from the Amon G. Carter Foundation, GSI has updated the publications it distributes to the general public. Completion of a new brochure, newsletter, and annual report are important steps in satisfying the conditions set forth in GSI's strategic plan. Most notably, the publications are intended to increase community awareness about the agency.

If you would like copies of any of these publications, either electronically or to serve as handouts, please contact Marnie Stites at 817-921-0499, extension 105, or mstites@guardianshipservices.org.
