What is Life Care Planning: A New Approach to Elder Law | Part 2
Anderson Elder Law will re-visit our previous discussion on Life Care Planning. We discussed how Life Care Planning is a holistic, elder-centered approach to the practice of law that helps families respond to every challenge caused by chronic illness or disability of an elderly loved one. Life Care Planning Law Firms rely on an inter-disciplinary team that works to identify present and potential future care needs, locate appropriate care, and ensure high-quality care. This approach relies less on crisis-oriented transactions and more on the development of on-going relationships with families. The heart of the elder-centered law practice, a Life Care Plan defines, organizes, prioritizes, and mobilizes every aspect of an elder's care. In addition to traditional asset-focused elder law services such as estate planning, asset preservation, and public benefits qualification, a Life Care Plan typically includes provisions for care coordination, family education, health care and financial decision-making, care advocacy, crisis intervention, support, and other services. Every Life Care Plan is designed to achieve three primary objectives.
Learning Objectives:
Advocate appropriate care on behalf of the elder, whether at home or in a residential facility, to maintain quality of life.
Locate public and private sources to help pay for long-term care while resolving issues created by the high cost of care.
Strategies to offer peace of mind that results when the right choices are made to ensure loved ones are safe and getting the right care while preserving family resources.
This is Part 2 of a two-part series. Register for Part 1 to learn more and earn additional CEs.
