Established in 1982, Mid-Michigan Guardianship Services is a non-profit professional guardianship agency located in Lansing, Michigan. MMGS operates independently as a 501C3. Within our scope of practice, we work closely with public service and governmental entities, including DHHS, CMH, TCOA, PACE, multiple County Probate Courts and other community partners. Our operations currently encompass adult Guardianships, Conservatorships, Trust administration and limited Payee services in the Tri-County area, as well as satellite offices in Ionia County & Livingston County.
MMGS’s primary mission is to promote and preserve the independence and dignity of our clients through the legal framework of guardianship & conservatorship. MMGS is a member of the National Guardianship Association and follows best practice standards as adopted by the National Guardianship Association in all clinical, financial, and ethical matters. We serve older adults, persons with mental illness and persons with physical and developmental disabilities.
We support clients in maintaining a healthy lifestyle with an emphasis on keeping individuals in the least restrictive environment as they can live safely. We seek to identify and access services that focus on each person's capacity to engage in activities that promote an optimal quality of life. MMGS has a diverse and well trained staff implementing industry best practices for advocacy, assistance and planning for our clients, their families, and caregivers.
