Private Pay Services
Indiana Guardianship Services, Inc. offers private pay guardianship services for adults who require court-appointed decision-making support and do not meet eligibility criteria for the VASIA program. These services are available upon referral and are subject to court appointment and oversight.
​
As with all guardianship services provided by Indiana Guardianship Services, private pay guardianship is pursued only when less restrictive alternatives (such as supported decision-making, powers of attorney, or representative payee arrangements) are not appropriate or sufficient.
Private Pay Guardianship
Who We Serve & Our Approach
Private pay guardianship services are available for adults who require court-appointed decision-making support and do not meet eligibility criteria for the VASIA program. These services are appropriate when less restrictive alternatives (such as supported decision-making, powers of attorney, or representative payee arrangements) are not sufficient. Private-pay guardianship may be a good option for individuals and families who are unable to identify a suitable family member or decision-maker, live at a distance, or require consistent, professional oversight of personal, medical, or financial matters.
​
Private pay clients are served by the same trained professionals who provide guardianship services through the VASIA program. There is no difference in the quality, ethical standards, or level of court oversight between private pay and VASIA services. All guardianship responsibilities, including intake review, coordination of legal filings, ongoing monitoring, and court reporting, are managed in-house to ensure continuity, accountability, and person-centered care.
