Life care planning is the future. It is a new way to respond to the challenges created by long life, long-term illness or disability. But what exactly is a life care plan?
A Life Care Plan is a comprehensive plan prepared by elder law attorneys and aided by an elder care coordinator, which enables you to get the best long-term nursing home or assisted living care for you or your loved one. In creating this plan, our lawyers combine asset protection, public benefits qualification, care coordination, nursing home advocacy and crisis intervention services into a convenient package - a Life Care Plan.
As the ultimate protection for elders and those who love them, an effective Life Care Plan will perform the following key functions:
Resolve the legal and financial problems caused by the high cost of long term care by utilizing strategies to qualify for governmental benefits, like Medicaid, to pay for said long-term care.
Enhance quality of life by addressing the caregiving challenges that most families bear on their own. This may include care assessments, referrals, assistance locating and coordinating help and services, crisis intervention, education and decision making support and advocacy services.
Continued monitoring and follow up with our team of professionals and resources. We are there to monitor quality of care and service and address and resolve any problems that occur in real time.
Get the right care more quickly. These resources will allow you to age with dignity and independence. It will also allow spouses and dependents to relax as they know that professional support is onboard to help ensure a smooth transition to long term care.
Have a lawyer on your side to deal with problems with nursing homes, third party caregivers, and governmental agencies or estranged family members.
Life care planning provides a benefit to all and lightens the load for the whole family. We develop a plan to handle the legal, health care, financial, housing and long term care needs. Take a full circle - 360 degree approach - to preparing for the future today!
