Our Supported Living Services
Medicaid-funded care designed around each individual — supporting independence, dignity, and community connection across North Carolina.
Person-Centered Care, Every Step of the Way
At Guardian Assisted Care, we believe every individual deserves support that fits their life — not the other way around. Our Supported Living services are tailored to each person's unique goals, preferences, and Medicaid plan, delivered by trained, compassionate staff who genuinely care.
Daily Living Support
We assist individuals with the everyday tasks that make independent living possible — meal preparation, household management, laundry, budgeting, and more. Our staff work alongside each person to build skills and confidence while providing the right level of hands-on help.
- Meal planning and preparation
- Household organization and cleaning
- Budgeting and financial management
- Medication reminders and health routines
- Transportation assistance

- Volunteer and civic engagement
- Shopping, errands, and appointments
- Building natural community supports
