Life Care Planning

Service Description

A life-care plan is an array of the health-related goods and services that correspond to the current and anticipated future needs of individuals who have chronic health care needs. It includes a description of the goods and services by type, the duration (i.e., how long the goods or services will be required, from only once to as long as life expectancy); the frequency and rate (i.e., how often per unit of time the service will be delivered or provided), as well as the unit cost and the present annual cost of each element in the plan. We are able to conduct architectural accessibility surveys in instances in which the residences of persons with certain disabling conditions are not fully accessible. Thorough documentation of the cost basis is provided for all elements of our life-care plans. The life-care plan is prepared according to professionally accepted methods and is based upon published, research-based standards of practice, comprehensive assessment, and the unique needs of the individual for whom the plan is being developed. Finally, the life-care plan is dynamic, i.e., as individual’s circumstances and medical technology change; the life-care plan will be expected to accommodate such changes in a corresponding manner.
