Self-Direction

Advancing self-direction across the country.

Self-direction is a model of long-term care service delivery that expands individual choice and control. Participants in self-direction programs regularly hire their own workers and make decisions about how to use individually budgeted funds for long-term care services and supports.

Annkissam has spent almost 13 years investing in our products for self-direction. Our software supports programs in 40 states and counting.

Rooted in self-direction

Annkissam’s roots in self-direction took hold early, just as federal and state policies were changing to support increased self-direction. Our co-founder Mollie Murphy spent her early career working to improve policy guidance and operations for home and community-based services, with a focus on self-direction. Now with a team of experts from the field, Annkissam leads the industry in self-direction software for Financial Management Services (FMS).

Working with the leaders

From the start, Annkissam has worked closely with some of the country’s leading and largest FMS providers, rolling out cutting-edge software to support their complex and changing operational needs. Today, Annkissam's software supports over 75 self-direction programs of all sizes and models, across 40 states and counting.

As self-direction grows, thrives, and evolves, Annkissam is meeting every new challenge, innovating daily to make our software better. Our leadership, product managers, and implementation teams are continually listening and learning so we can help providers support the increasing number of people who want to self-direct.
