Our Mission
Guidance Carolina is a private, non-profit organization providing
fiduciary services and care management to vulnerable persons
based on person-centered principles.
Our Vision
EMPOWERING AND SUPPORTING VULNERABLE PERSONS
Our Core Values
Stewardship
We provide care and a safety net for vulnerable persons; taking responsibility and accountability for the financial and healthcare decisions that our clients have entrusted in our care.
Empowerment
We strive to preserve dignity and autonomy - helping our clients to be their best selves.
Dedication
We persevere through difficult circumstances to support and advocate for our clients.
Adaptability
We are flexible in the ways that we serve our clients, keeping in mind that each individual has different needs, and one size does not fit all.
Collaboration
We believe that person-centered care often takes a team, and we serve as a connector of both internal and external professionals to serve vulnerable people.
Our Services

As Trustee, Guidance Carolina’s experienced staff understand the complex rules governing public benefits and Special Needs Trusts.
Power of Attorney
A Power-of-Attorney is a useful planning tool in the event that you become unable to make important decisions independently.
Representative Payee
A Representative Payee is appointed when an individual receives benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA) but is unable to manage his or her own funds.
Elder Justice Care Management
We are champions of the need for enhancing our community’s collaborative response to elder abuse, as these cases are on the rapid rise.
